Master of Leadership and Management
Avondale University, Cooranbong, NSW, Australia
About this program
A 12-unit postgraduate degree aimed at people already in, or heading into, management roles who want the credential without leaving their job. It's delivered by distance with a mid-year residential intensive, which is the only time the cohort is physically together. One compulsory unit, LAMC50600 Theology, Theory and Practice of Leadership, signals the degree's actual orientation: it treats leadership as something with an ethical and, specifically, a Christian dimension, not just a set of management techniques lifted from a generic MBA-style curriculum.
Compared to Avondale's separate Master of Business Administration, this degree sits closer to organisational leadership than finance or strategy: it's a reasonable fit for people running teams in healthcare, education, ministry, or not-for-profit settings where Avondale's networks (particularly Adventist Church institutions across the Pacific) provide a natural graduate destination, though it isn't restricted to those sectors.
