The Diploma in Strategy and Innovation is designed for experienced executives who aspire to, or already hold, strategic management positions. In order to be considered for the programme candidates must be able to demonstrate the following: |
Intellectual ability
A good undergraduate degree or equivalent professional qualification is required. Applicants who do not hold such qualifications may be considered if they have a very strong employment history, demonstrating their ability as a high achiever. |
Professional experience
Candidates will usually have at least five years’ professional experience and be familiar with the challenges of business strategy and organisational change. |
English language proficiency
A Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Test Scheme (IELTS) if English is not your native language. The University's minimum score requirements for these tests can be viewed here. Candidates with significant experience of working in an English speaking country, or a degree from a recognised institution where the medium of instruction and assessment is entirely in English, may be granted exemption from this requirement. |
