Leadership Masterclasses

These Leadership masterclasses, facilitated by both internal and external experts, have been designed to support staff in senior leadership roles and provide an opportunity for you to refresh or refine your skills in key areas which you will be facing within your role. Masterclasses take place periodically throughout the academic year.

Who are the masterclasses aimed at?

The sessions are open to academic and Professional Services staff who are leading large areas of activity, for example, Deans, Divisional Heads, Faculty/School Managers, Heads of Schools, and Faculty Research/Education Directors. We will be in touch with these groups directly to invite them to book onto the sessions.

If you are unsure if the masterclasses are applicable to you please do not hesitate to get in touch to check.
