The Sheffield Hallam Executive MBA (Education) is designed to give you the skills, knowledge and experience to advance your career into senior management.

The course is ideal if you are a member of the senior leadership team in an educational organisation, or aspire to be, and have a responsibility for finance, HR, systems and other resources, marketing or other business support functions. It is designed for people who work in
• academy's, academy chains, teaching school alliances, schools or children's centres
• further and higher education institutions
• health related education settings
• local authorities and other organisations working with children and families in the public sector

This unique course enables you to develop your leadership and management knowledge and skills within the context of education. You complete a mix of core MBA modules and specialist educational leadership modules. The specialist modules help you to understand the strategic and ethical issues involved with management within an educational setting.

We tailor assignments and projects to the needs of your organisation or your own areas of interest, which maximises the value of your studies. Your organisation also has the opportunity to provide input into your learning and contribute to your development.

To be a successful leader, you need to understand, implement and integrate the current fundamental concepts of management, and have insights from differing professional perspectives. You gain this knowledge on our course by studying core MBA subjects within four integrated modules.

Completing an integrated module means that instead of studying a topic such as finance in isolation, you study finance together with marketing and decision making. Our approach replicates the real world where strategic decisions will span multiple business areas, providing you with a richer and more realistic learning experience.

The core MBA modules are complemented by a range of educational leadership modules that enable you to tailor the course content to your career needs. You also complete a consultancy project that involves investigating a current major issue from within your organisation.

As you progress through the course you apply your learning by problem-solving real or simulated case studies. This helps you to identify and deal with links and tensions between different areas of an organisation.

You enhance your leadership skills by encountering and managing varying, often competing, perspectives on management issues. Case studies enable you to practice and assess the impact of real-time decision making, embedding and demonstrating the skills you need during your career.

During the course you

• build your skills in coaching, negotiating and influencing
• attend guest lectures from leading experts who provide unique insights into management within an educational setting
• create a portfolio of work so you can evidence your learning and development

Entry Requirements

You need either a 2.2 degree or above or significant managerial and operational experience.

Overseas applicants also need IELTS score of 6.5 with 6.0 in all skills or equivalent. If your English language skill is currently below this level, we recommend you complete a Sheffield Hallam University Pre-sessional English course which will enable you to achieve the required English level.

We assess all applications on merit and interview candidates to ensure suitability for the course. We recommend that you contact us for guidance before applying.
