Why apply for our PGDip Leadership Development for NPOs?

 

 

  • Help to professionalise the social sector: The PGDip programme taps into Stellenbosch Business School’s vast leadership expertise, enabling you to learn how to lead yourself, others and your organisation in ways that are ethical, responsible and sustainable. 
  • Strengthen your NPO’s performance: This programme acknowledges responsible leadership as the prime differentiator that drives sustainable performance and impact, focusing on the development of personal leadership, team leadership, organisational leadership and societal leadership.
  • Make a significant impact: Discovering and growing your leadership skills over the period of one year will give you the grounding you need to confidently lead your NPO to fulfil its social purpose.
  • Invest in your career path: Acquire leadership skills without doing a comprehensive degree like an MBA. At the same time, this PGDip can give you access to a Master’s degree because it is presented at NQF level 8, the equivalent of an Honours degree.
  • Study while you work: The study format allows for dedicated, focused block weeks to immerse in the learning experience. In-between the blocks, learning is continuously reflected upon and applied in the context of your work environment.
