You may already be working in the charity sector as a senior marketing and fundraising manager. Or you may wish to transfer relevant skills and knowledge from experience you've gained in other sectors.

The course will support and enhance your core fundraising and marketing management skills. It will equip you to design and deliver efficient, effective and appropriate fundraising and marketing practice in the voluntary sector.

The Postgraduate Diploma consists of six compulsory modules that all students take and are common to all the five charity postgraduate courses. These provide the essential underpinning of management skills for the two compulsory specialist courses. Upon successful completion of the diploma you can continue to the MSc Programme.

The MSc requires completion of the Research Methods for Managers module. This is followed by either: a further six months of personal, supervised research and the presentation of a research-based dissertation. Or alternatively, you can opt to take a taught Masters which allows you to choose specialist modules from one of the other charities programmes.
