Course content

Increasingly, leaders in the field of social change are finding that traditional approaches are insufficient to meet social need in a highly-connected world. The generators of need are now complex and interrelated. Leaders are finding themselves in a new world of peer-based collaboration and interdependency.

This is a part-time, 2 year course equipping leaders in health, social care, criminal justice, third sector, clergy/faith leaders, community development, and education sectors to lead social change in an age of increasing disruption. You'll work as collaborators and partners, leading highly autonomous teams that develop emergent responses to complex environments.
