Role (if not course leader) |
International NGOs play an increasingly important role in addressing the
challenges and consequences of extreme poverty and humanitarian
emergencies. NGO managers face complex management challenges – both at a
personal and organisational level.
This brand new course has been developed in partnership with leading
NGOs and BOND (the UK-NGO network) to develop and improve the management
competencies and analytical capabilities of a new generation of NGO
managers.
Running on a part-time modular basis, this is a complete development
programme for managers who wish to gain a sound understanding of people,
strategies and leadership in the context of international NGOs, and is
unique in that it is one of the only management courses in Europe to
focus on the needs of NGO managers.
The programme will deliver:
- a sound understanding of the issues facing NGOs and the impact and
implications of the management and organisational challenges they face
- up-to-date skills and techniques to recognise strategic challenges and
identify appropriate strategies to address them
-exposure to leading experts in the field as well as opportunity to
network and study with peers from different but related backgrounds,
bringing a deep and immediately relevant insight into NGO management
- recognition at the end of the course with a Postgraduate Diploma or
MSc degree in NGO Management.
It is intended for individuals with established careers in NGOs as well
as students with suitable experience who are looking to develop their
knowledge and skills in NGO management. Applicants should be
graduate-level or have the equivalent professional qualifications. |
