Opleiding: MA Management for Personal Assistants
Learning purpose
This is an advanced level degree for personal assistants who are educated to degree level and would like to develop their careers through a recognised Master's qualification.
Middlesex University is the only institution in the UK offering a postgraduate degree for Personal Assistants and we have designed this course to increase your awareness and understanding of management concepts and techniques at an advanced level.
The innovative course has been designed exclusively for those already working as Personal or Executive Assistants. Working with the Association of Personal Assistants (APA), which has accredited the programme, Middlesex University Business School has created a flexible programme that will help PA/ExecAs at every level of their professional development, and which will fit within their busy schedules.
The course involves a combination of distance learning with work-based learning. The distance learning components involve a blend of electronic learning and private study, whilst the work based learning components will involve you in learning from your professional work. In this way you will economise on the amount of time that you devote to your learning, focus on learning that is directly applicable to your work, and be able also to give something back to your employer or principal.
The programme of study will develop your decision-making abilities for management settings and enable you to lead innovation in different areas of your organisations' operations and outputs. You will learn how to manage change and deploy resources in efficient and effective ways as well as how to build organisational capability, monitor progress and successfully achieve results.
Target audience
The MA is designed for advanced PAs who already possess a degree level qualification in a relevant subject. There is a high level of personal project work on the programme, and individuals will develop a strong strategic understanding of their firm and the industry in which it operates. On completion of the programme you will be able to undertake substantial projects within your organisation, and make a definitive contribution to the effectiveness of your principal or line manager.
Applicants should have several years experience as a PA, and a degree (first or second class honours) or equivalent.
Programme
This programme has been designed to run in a flexible format. Teaching is sequential and material builds as you progress through the programme. Students will join the programme at Module 1, WBL4835 before proceeding to the remaining 30-credit taught modules, which may at times be offered in either order. At module 4, students select one of two options. Only upon completion of four 30-credit modules can students progress onto the dissertation.
