PgCert LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT: HOMELESSNESS AND HOUSING

This programme develops key leadership and management skills for current managers and future leaders of organisations in the homelessness sector.

This course was developed by the School of Business in collaboration with the London Housing Foundation (LHF), who are sponsoring the course.

The programme aims to develop leadership and management skills for current managers and future leaders of organisations in this area of work.

The course is primarily designed for appropriately experienced and qualified staff in the homelessness and allied sectors.

The course will run for 1 year, from September to June, the following year, on a part time basis, delivered in 8 two-day blocks; Thursdays and Fridays. There will be an initial two night residential, usually in the first week of October.

“I may have underestimated the work involved in the course but I cannot undervalue the amount of learning I will take away from the Postgraduate Certificate in Leadership in Housing and Homelessness: from tutors, coursework and other students. As well as helping me personally it has given me a new perspective on a range of issues that will improve how I lead my organisation for the benefit of the communities we serve. I would wholeheartedly recommend the course to new and seasoned managers." Recent graduate
