Overview
The Henley Executive Certificate in Leadership is a part-time Certificate programme, leading up to a Diploma, or even a Masters (MA) degree in Leadership. It is a part-time programme designed to fit with your working commitments. You will develop your leadership capability and learn how to maximise the performance of your team. This enables you to become a leader who is analytical and self-aware, with a strong sense of responsibility; someone who understands how to make people thrive, and who has the confidence to take the organisation forward.
When developing the programme, we undertook extensive research and consulted with leaders from large and small corporates, the public sector, government departments and social enterprises. As a result, the programme is challenging yet rewarding and relevant, designed to have an immediate practical impact on both you and your organisation. In addition to the relevant content taught during this programme, the German cohorts will benefit from in-depth business mentoring and additional professional networking within the Northern (Hamburg intakes) and Southern (Munich intakes) business communities as part of Henley’s increased collaboration with relevant business communities.
You can choose to commit to the full MA Leadership from the start or complete one stage at a time. At the stage you decide to complete your studies you will earn an internationally recognised qualification from a triple-accredited, global business school.
