The post-graduate course has been developed over two years and applications are open for the academic year 2018/19, with the first candidates starting in January 2019.
Mike Haslin, CEO of TUCO said: “This master’s degree is an excellent opportunity to develop your skills, support your career progression and allows for rich personal development within such a unique field.
“Our team has worked closely with LSBU on the content and course rationale to ensure that it meets the needs of aspiring directors and senior managers. We will also continue to support students for the duration of the course.”
The course consists of six modules including; leadership, strategy, marketing, product development, sustainable operations and a bespoke comparative study field trip. The dissertation can be carried out as a work-based project.
TUCO Academy will offer access to resources, such as its commissioned research and mentoring to members whilst on the course, as well as financial support for fees for TUCO members.
Elizabeth Crawford, TUCO independent consultant, said: “The modules are based on key requirements for people seeking advancement to the highest level in university business.
“No other university in the UK is offering this post graduate (Level 7) learning experience. Members have regularly asked about what development opportunities can be offered to aspiring directors and this offers a response to that demand.”
TUCO and LSBU will be holding a taster event from 1pm-4pm on Friday 19th October at LSBU, which will be a face to face session where prospective applicants can ask questions about the course, receive guidance on the application process, and discuss the opportunities for bursaries and additional support. Spaces are limited and will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis.
