Overview Take your practical leadership experience you’ve gained in your career and complete a dissertation on leadership or management to convert your experience into a full Master’s degree. Supported by an expert supervisor, you'll use research theory and practices to explore leadership within your organisation, and graduate with a recognised academic qualification. You’ll choose a dissertation topic you’re passionate about and define a suitable research area with your course director. As you continue to work alongside your studies, you’ll be able to apply your learning directly in your workplace and develop your research and critical analysis skills. This top up Master's course is open to anyone with management and leadership experience, as well as officers of the Armed Forces (based on rank and experience) through Recognition of Prior Learning that has been mapped and accredited against the CMI Diploma Level 7 or an equivalent qualification. The University of Portsmouth is also an Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) approved supplier.
