Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

At the Leadership clinic, students get acquainted with the current themes of leadership work - coaching leadership, co-management and conflict management. In clinics related to teaching themes, students interactively analyze and spar with each other's current challenges in leadership work. During the implementation, the student also develops a leadership practice that promotes personal leadership work.

Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
If students have acquired the required competence in previous work tasks, recreational activities or on another course, they can show their competence via a demonstration. The demonstration must be agreed with the course teacher. More information and instructions for recognising and validating prior learning (RPL) are available at https://www.haaga-helia.fi/en/recognition-learning Look at "Instructions to students (master)"

Teaching methods and instruction

The course implementation is based on three learning themes: coaching leadership, co-management and conflict management. The students explore these themes with the help of lectures, collective learning activities, discussions and individual studies. The aim of the course is to deepen one's knowledge of leadership and encourage analytical thinking, personal reflection and solution-focused mindset (design of practices) through the above-mentioned learning themes.

The implementation includes both contact and online clinics, where students share and analyze their own experiences, cases and problems related to the course contents. The advisors provide introductory lectures, guidance as well as assignments to support learning.

Prior or current work experience in managerial position is not required. The course is beneficial for all students who want to learn more of the learning themes and leadership.

The learning themes/topics and equivalent assignments address day-to-day challenges and practices in organizations. Students can apply and implement learned principles and practices in their organizations.
