The LMA Postgraduate Award in Strategic Leadership is a masters-level, academically accredited, leadership development programme. The course combines knowledge and experience from the academic, sporting, and business worlds, providing an overarching and unique perspective of theory, experience and best practice.
“The Postgraduate Award is a great way of sharing best practice in leadership, strategy and governance with peers from football and other sports.”

The programme is individualised and bespoke, making it suitable for anyone on their leadership journey who is looking to enhance their leadership and strategic oversight or making a career transition. Previous participants have benefitted from the programme in making the change from manager to leader, operations to director, or merely gaining a better understanding of their existing role and impact.
Programme delivery includes a mixture of synchronous and “in-your-own-time” learning through online and face-to-face sessions, as well as the use of pre-recorded lectures, individual coaching and a wide range of added support. The LMA Postgraduate Award is delivered and administered by the League Managers Association’s Institute of Leadership and High Performance and the University of Liverpool.
