The Aspiring Leaders and Stepping into Leadership programmes from the Leadership and Management Academy are open for applications.

If you’re leading people or projects for the first time, or don’t yet lead anyone but want to in the future, the Leadership and Management Academy has programmes specifically aimed at developing your leadership skills.

Aspiring Leaders

This programme is for any member of staff who’s thinking about taking on their first leadership role.

If you’re looking for that first role as a leader, or if you’ve been identified as potential leadership talent, this programme will give you the opportunity to develop your leadership skills and deepen your understanding of what leadership means for the University.

Staff from all job families are invited to apply, and the deadline for applications is Monday 30 October. Find out more/apply.

Stepping into Leadership

If you’re in your first leadership role, this programme is for you.

Whether you’re leading a team, a project or a piece of work, we’ll help you develop your foundational leadership skills and improve the way you lead. Equally, if you’ve been a leader for a while, but haven’t had an opportunity for formal leadership development, this is a great place to start.

Staff from all job families are invited to apply, and the deadline for applications is Monday 30 October. Find out more/apply.

Further programmes and development tools

Two of our other development programmes are still open for applications as well:

Our Coaching Programme, which gives you the opportunity to study for an ILM level 5 qualification in coaching, is open for applications until Friday 29 September.

The Strategic Leaders Programme, which is aimed at leaders with University wide responsibility looking to develop their strategic leadership skills, is open for applications until Monday 30 October.

You can also find out more about these programmes by visiting the LMA Hub on Moodle, or by contacting a member of the Leadership and Management Team.

There’s a raft of on-line learning resources available for all staff to access on the Learning and Resources page of the LMA Hub.
