Leaders in Learning & Teaching

Build your capacity to lead your institution's learning and teaching strategy

This year's Leaders in Learning & Teaching programme is sold out. To express your interest for the 2025 cohort, please contact [email protected].

The Leaders in Learning & Teaching Development Programme (LLT) helps those who are preparing for, or aspiring to, lead, manage and deliver high quality learning & teaching. Participants will gain a better understanding of the complexities of the role, build their leadership capacity, develop their research and practise profile, and explore approaches to developing and implementing learning & teaching enhancement strategies.

LLT is a well established and well-regarded learning and development programme for senior business school faculty. The sessions are a mixture of preparation, information, interaction and discussion. The topics and guest speakers will provoke reflection, thought and action, and the emphasis will be on collaboration and problem solving.
