Newcastle University Business School have created three new executive programmes based on responsible leadership.
Addressing the needs of professionals, these new programmes will integrate learning into practice to reflect the ever-changing world of work. The programmes blend face-to-face workshops with online learning and offer a supportive environment so students can feel free to learn around their other commitments.
This work-based learning will enable leaders and managers to continue in their career whilst working towards a Masters degree. One of the key benefits from these programmes is that the leaders are able to put their theory-based learning into practice, helping them make a real-time impact in their organisation.
Work-based learning
Dr Jo James, Director of Leadership Development and Organisation Futures, said “We are proud to be launching these programmes at a time of unprecedented societal and economic upheaval. Before the pandemic, our research centred on leadership practices required to create sustainable, inclusive and digitally connected workplaces. These issues are relevant for every organisation looking to navigate successfully into the future. The public health crisis has amplified the urgency for these leadership skills. Our aim is to offer a learning environment that works with today’s real-world challenges. Programme participants will benefit from a supportive peer group of strategic leaders working on economic and societal recovery across the region.”
