Course Overview

The Cranfield Senior Leader Apprenticeship+ Marketing and Leadership MSc is delivered in two parts:

• Part 1: 11 modules are studied over 15 months. During this time, students build their portfolio of work-based evidence with support from their employer and their Cranfield Apprenticeship Tutor. Students also have peer coaching alongside their studies. This concludes with an End-Point Assessment (EPA), completed over five months, which includes the student’s Strategic Business Proposal, supported by their employer.

• Part 2: Progression to the Marketing and Leadership MSc over a further six-month period, including an individual consulting proposal and an actionable project-based thesis.

On application, you will be enrolled in Part 1 of the program and begin your studies. Throughout the course, you will have regular communication with your Course Director to discuss your progression choices to Part 2 and full completion of the Senior Leader Apprenticeship+ Marketing and Leadership MSc.
