There is a growing recognition, that in addition to a common body of knowledge all managers need in order to succeed, there are critical specialist areas for managers which provide a sound understanding of all aspects of their work and a springboard for further career progression.

This charity degree course is the first of its kind in the UK and Europe and reflects the increasing interest in funding and the need for transparency and accountability. Students will hold responsible positions within funding organisations wishing to gain a professional academic qualification.

This course aims to:

* Develop a clear understanding of the principles and practices of funding
* Explore the importance of all aspects of the management of funding
* Develop skills in problem solving, risk assessment and probity of applications
* Explore ethical frameworks within funding

Students should be highly motivated managers and will normally have a good first degree, a related professional qualification or at least three years wholly relevant experience.
