Location of Cass Business School
This course is designed as a complete development programme for managers in charities and not-for-profit organisations. The programme was carefully and expertly developed in partnership with nine leading charities.
The Voluntary Sector Management course is intended for highly motivated graduate-level staff with three or more years of management experience. It delivers immediate management benefits to the charity organisation while providing valuable personal career development for the individual.
Significantly subsidised and therefore excellent value for money, the programme delivers:
* A broad understanding of the full portfolio of major charity functions, as well as deeper direct experience in two specialist areas relevant to your organisation
* Up-to-date skills and techniques to apply directly to your day-to-day work with minimal time spent away from the office
* The opportunity to network, study and share ideas, with peers from different but related backgrounds, bringing deep and immediately relevant insights to charity management
* Recognition with a City University Business School Postgraduate Diploma or MSc degree in Voluntary Sector Management
Contents
The Postgraduate Diploma is offered on a part time basis and is taught over a period of 12 months. The Diploma consists of five core modules plus three specialist pathway modules. The core modules are shared by all five Centre for Charity Effectiveness postgraduate courses.
All courses are taught at Cass Business School and will require attendance one weekend a month commencing on the Friday afternoon at 13:00 to 21:00 and finishing on Saturday at 18:00.
Additional times of attendance will be required:
* On the Induction Day
* For Action Learning Set meetings (usually alternate months on the Friday morning of the teaching weekend)
* The Resource Management module exam
MSc conversion
Upon successful completion of the diploma, you will be given the option to continue to the MSc. This requires completion of the Research Methods for Managers module.
This can be followed by a further six months of personal, supervised research and the presentation of a 10,000-word dissertation.
Alternatively, you can opt to take a taught Masters which allows you to choose specialist modules from one of the other Charities programmes.
Students
Students for all five courses will be highly motivated individuals who bring with them a wide range of professional competence, skills and experience from a wide range of charitable and not-for-profit organisations. Gender is evenly balanced across all the courses and there are no age barriers.
Students will normally have a good first degree, a related professional qualification or at least three years, wholly relevant experience. If you have more than three years relevant experience, two professional references are acceptable.
IELTS
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.

English requirements
Every year we welcome students from around 100 different nations to study with us here at Cass. It is essential that all students have an excellent command of English in order to participate fully in the collaborative learning process. We therefore require all students who have not previously studied in English to sit an IELTS or TOEFL exam. If you are not a native English speaker but have studied or are studying in English at degree level, please submit a copy of your most recent English language test along with your application.
The required IELTS level for students who have not studied in the UK, or another English speaking environment, is a well balanced 7.0 with a minimum of 6.5 in writing.
For TOEFL we require:
* 107 (internet based test)
* 263 (computer based test)
* 627 (paper based test)
Our TOEFL code is 0870, department code 02
We do not offer a pre-sessional English class as an alternative to achieveing these scores. Any pre-sessional course should be viewed as a way of settling into living and studying in the UK and not as a way of topping up an IELTS or TOEFL score.
