Introduction
Our Program meets demands for better higher educational provision for the charity workforce, as well as demands from donors for a greater understanding of the meaning and purpose of philanthropy. It is delivered by academics trained in a wide range of relevant disciplines including social policy, business, history, sociology, geography, moral philosophy, anthropology, law, and economics.
This Program will be attractive to students seeking a high-level understanding of philanthropy and/or a career in the buoyant philanthropy sector, as well as to professionals seeking an opportunity to reflect on their practice.
The Program is distance learning with optional termly study days (recorded for those students who cannot attend in person) at our Canterbury campus.
All students pay 2 years of fees, regardless of whether they pursue the full MA, PG Diploma, or PG certificate.
