MicroMasters in Business Leadership by University of Queensland (edX)
The University of Queensland's Business Leadership MicroMasters program bridges the knowledge gap between higher education and the workplace. It is intended to prepare both emerging and experienced leaders to deal with the complexities and challenges of today's business environment. The program propels learners to the next level by assisting them in better understanding their own leadership capabilities and identifying areas for personal development, while also providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary to act effectively as leaders.
The program consists of four courses followed by a capstone assessment in business leadership. These courses combine academic theories with knowledge from UQ's expert team, industry experts' accumulated wisdom, engaging activities, and practical tools for leadership development. Each of the four courses takes a different approach to leadership, developing a diverse but complementary set of skills. They focus on the following key competencies with the aim to help develop well-rounded future leaders:
- Ability to lead teams
