In the UU Honours Leadership programme you learn all about leadership models and what makes effective leaders. You work on current relevant leadership dilemmas and you practice and are coached on your own personal leadership skills.
Workshops and lectures are taught by experienced UU teachers, external lecturers, and leaders from different domains in society and take place every 2 weeks.
A special part of the programme is Leader to shadow in which you will work with a leader in his or her organisation and experience how leadership works in daily business.
