Community Leadership course at UCLan
The Centre for Volunteering and Community Leadership based at the University of Central Lancashire are running the FD in Community Leadership from their Burnley campus.
The course starts in September 2012 and there are still a few
places left.
About the course
The course is designed to build participants up from learning
skills and abilities from different types of volunteering and
gaining experience in different fields in the first year, to
running and managing their own volunteer projects and events in the
third year.
The course also offers amongst the highest amount of trips abroad
organised out of any UCLan courses.
This is to gain experience of working with communities in other
countries like Pakistan, Russia, USA, UAE and Spain.

Future Career Opportinities

- Transferable skills into any leadership/management
position
- Teaching
- Volunteer co-ordinators/Volunteer Officers

The cost of the course full time is £6000 per year, this is
£3000 less than other UCLan courses, and so at the end of the three
years if you complete the final year BA top up then you will have
saved £9000 and still come out with a degree.
The reason it is a two year foundation and then one year top up
is so we can charge this amount to save students money.
There are a range of financial support options to choose from.
They all depend on the circumstances, but we can help people find
the right option.
