This two-year part time program integrates successful business practice with a concern for social, environmental and ethical issues. The program is delivered by the Centre for Action Research in Professional Practice in the School of Management in partnership with the New Academy of Business. Students learn about innovative management techniques and approaches and test the relevance of these ideas and practices in their own workplaces. Participants are encouraged to act and reflect on their learning while in the workplace. Many aspects of the course are open to negotiation between staff and students, individually and collectively. Peer support and mutual learning are important features of the course and staff and participants work together to review the program on an ongoing basis.
