Twin Curriculum: Postgraduate Diploma Programme in Advanced Leadership Studies, and the PhD Degree Programme in Leadership (and Mastery of Change)
Pragmatic learning approach
Career, study, and Twin Curriculum framework.
In line with the learning approach we expect that our participants pursue an active professional life, in which space and time is made available for study. The e-coached distance learning version of the Twin Curriculum is the preferred one, combined with (at least) one residential requirement (two week Summer institute). The framework of the Twin PGD + PhD curriculum is divided into four pillars (course categories). The vortex is the postgraduate curriculum composed of a flow-array of courses, and ending with a comprehensive Essay requirement. it is equivalent to a comprehensive examination, as it partly encapsulates the components of the core-curriculum. The fourth or field-project (FP) pillar relates to the PhD specifically. The components of the FP, which are defined by the doctoral candidate, focus on action-leadership or leadership education (development) focus. The thesis (doctoral dissertation), emerging from the field project, overarches the entire Twin Curriculum programme.
Field
project and focal areas (specialisation)
In
the fourth pillar, and typical of the Thierry approach in thesis
preparation, there are four main themes or focal areas that are of
specific interest and use to the doctoral candidate. (depending on
the institution where the PhD thesis takes place, another research
framework could however apply). In line with our
Graduate School's interdisciplinary approach
the doctorate specialisations focus on the leadership
and the change
dimensions that are found in various professional
fields, for instance: ·
Organisational Development and Human Dynamics; · Corporate Strategy and Business Policy; ·
Public Policy, Systems, and Structures; · Executive Coaching and Mentoring: · Environment, Ecology and Sustainability; · Education and Educational Institutions; · Ethics, Morality and Organisational Conduct; ·
Entrepreneurship and Project Implementation; · Cross-cultural Communication and Teambuilding; · Health Care Environments and Education; · Non-governmental Organisations (NGO) · Virtual Environments and e-Coaching (e-leadership); ...
Course
flow,
pedagogy, language, and research
The
Twin Curriculum of PGD+PhD programme, starts off with the postgraduate (PGD) curriculum. All of the course materials
and examinations are in English, also the common language for the
e-coaching and the summer residential module. As a whole, the flow of the
Twin Curriculum programme addresses the
"conventional" learning (cognitive) methods, as well as
non-linear and non-sequential ("non-rational") thought, learning, and development processes.
The curriculum includes selected portions of Enguerran's
Odyssey, a multidisciplinary resource (in history, sciences,
arts, technology, ...) which supports the broadening or stretching of the
learner-leader's intellectual, emotional, and intuitive spectra (or
"thinking out of the box").
