The UNITA Alliance invites academic and administrative staff from its member universities to explore seven online courses designed to develop leadership competencies in higher education.
The courses are based on the UNITA Common Leadership Competence Model and have been developed by experts from universities across the Alliance. They provide practical examples and opportunities for reflection to support the professional development of current and future academic and administrative leaders.
About the courses
The seven asynchronous, self-paced online courses take approximately two hours each to complete. They are designed for heads of department, vice-deans, deans, staff preparing for future leadership roles, and administrative staff with responsibilities across university activities.
The courses cover seven interconnected leadership competency areas:
- Strategic leadership
- People and relationships
- Academic excellence and impact
- Operations and resources
- Ethics and responsibility
