Leadership

• Includes some face-to-face sessions (typically on Saturdays to accommodate travel and attendance from all corners of the country).



• Our experience is that the combination of on campus days and online teaching and learning provide a dynamic and transformative learning experience for all students



• We are committed to developing our students’ critical voice through reading, discussion, peer learning, presentations and critical review. Furthermore, these participative learning experiences will ensure that high quality learning outcomes are achieved.
