Our Leadership and Development MSc focuses on the issues that highlight the significance of leadership processes and outcomes in the dynamics of development. Through this programme, you will gain an understanding of the increasingly key role leadership plays in development and transformation, with a focus on global south contexts.

Next-generation leaders must be able to thrive across different socio-cultural contexts while achieving success in organisations. In a dynamic global context with a wide array of diverse actors and stakeholders, leaders need a unique set of skills and must be uniquely prepared. The Leadership and Development programme seeks: (i) To deepen students' understanding of the different patterns of leadership that have underlined social, political and economic processes and outcomes in societies across the world; (ii) To advance critical knowledge on development in relation to leadership and problem-solving; (iii) To develop in students deep analytical skills on responses to global challenges in the 21st century.

Students learn to understand the complexity of leadership operating across different levels and the interconnections among all of this.
