Senior leaders represent their organisations at the highest level, navigating relationships with clients, supply chains, and regulatory bodies. To be effective, they need the skills to influence, adapt, and drive meaningful change.
Our PgDip Senior Leadership apprenticeship builds on your existing experience and knowledge, sharpening your leadership approach and expanding your strategic insight. Designed for mid to senior-level managers, it equips you to apply your insight in real-world business environments, strengthening your impact across your organisation and industry networks.
Many of our graduates have progressed to roles as chief executives, global directors, and successful entrepreneurs. Others have chosen to build on their expertise by continuing their studies with our MBA Senior Leadership (Top-Up).
A second-class honours degree or equivalent, including professional qualifications, not necessarily in a business related subject, plus at least 3 years of work experience at a professional or managerial level. Alternatively, applicants without formal qualifications, but with a minimum of 5 years of management experience, are welcome to apply.
Applicants aged 16-18 must have acceptable Level 2 qualifications in English and Maths, such as GCSE with grade C/4 or above or Functional Skills. If you do not have acceptable qualifications, you will be required to obtain this. Those aged 19 and over are only subject to these requirements if you or your employer choose for you to study towards English and Maths qualifications, which will be funded. Please note that you may still be required to evidence accepted Level 2 qualifications for the course, as part of academic assessment.
