Our aim at the Institute of Local Government Studies is to support you to gain the practical knowledge and skills required to be an effective and dynamic leader across the public sector.

The public sector is a changing, challenging, and rewarding environment to work in and for over 50 years the Institute of Local Government Studies (INLOGOV) at the University of Birmingham has been at the forefront of the provision of training and critical thinking on issues facing the sector.

This programme builds on our decades of experience to provide a state-of-the-art Public Management and Leadership Apprenticeship. The programme has been designed in close collaboration with employers, and in partnership with the Society of Local Authority Chief Executives (SOLACE), to ensure that learners are equipped with the knowledge, skills and competencies required to be an effective and dynamic public sector leader.

The programme is innovative in its design and is at the forefront of best practice, blending interactive online study with campus based ‘face-to-face enquiry-led activities, drawing together the strengths of these different platforms to ensure a high quality learning experience. At various points throughout the programme senior leaders from across the public sector will join us to share their experiences and offer case study examples allowing you to benefit from the invaluable experience gained by others.

Employability

Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship we will offer the opportunity for learners to achieve a full Masters level qualification via completion of a 60 credit dissertation. The cost of completing the Masters will be £4,000 which can be funded by the employer or individual, or a combination of both. Discounts and scholarships may be applied in certain circumstances, please contact us to discuss.
