Duration 15 days

Please click here for a full description of the ILM programmes we offer to see which is the right training course for you.  These courses are NOT open to postgraduate students - they are designed for University staff only.

This qualification is designed specifically for those who are middle managers.  You typically have the following responsibilities:
  • Provide departmental/divisional leadership; plan, manage and monitor operations; lead change projects; develop people and resources to maximise operational effectiveness; monitor performance and control budgets.
  • Encourage innovation and improvement; set goals and delegate tasks to direct reports; communicate with teams and manage risks.
  • Make strategic plans with time horizons of up to 5 years and set KPIs for the University of your area of responsibility.
PLEASE NOTE: As part of the course you will undertake a project of your choice which involves writing an innovation report.  This will be based on your own real work needs in the context of an improvement opportunity in your area of responsibility.

The course provides an in-depth exploration of leadership and management at a strategic level using a current work-based innovation project which is determined by the learner.  The course is comprised of seven blended learning blocks (each providing recorded content, self-paced learner activities and a two hour on-line workshop).  The course typically runs for six to seven months.  See the Programme Outline below for more details.
