Master of Social and Community Leadership
NZQF Level 9

About the course

This masters programme, designed with flexibility in mind, is able to be completed 100% online (depending on elective selections), as well as face-to-face and a mixture of both. Meaningful social change is only possible when we prioritise the experiences of people at the centre of the issues. Equally, leadership skills are more critical than ever for driving social transformation, especially in a complex world where it can be difficult to identify and respond to the root causes of issues. On a strong foundation of leadership training, this programme will teach you how to implement solutions that respond to social and community contexts, opportunities and complexities. By learning about evaluation and research, you will gain the knowledge and abilities to produce more sustainable and scalable change in a complex world. These will help you to lead, innovate and evaluate for social change. This 180-point programme is flexibly designed to suit those working full-time or part-time in community, government, not-for-profit and social good sectors, as well as graduates from a range of disciplines aspiring to work in this area.
