The M.Sc. in Leadership Programme is to produce exceptional leaders. This blended programme is one of its kind in the country and provides opportunities for adults to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes, which will equip them to perform creatively, ethically and effectively within their organizations and personal lives.
The Programme has been designed flexibly without compromising on the academic rigour and at the same time, made to suite the busy schedules of participants.
