The Graduate Certificate of Humanitarian Leadership (Humanitarian Leadership Programme) is a uniquely intensive and challenging leadership programme designed for humanitarians.
The GCHL/HLP is a comprehensive eight-month programme designed by an expert group of humanitarians, academics, and leadership development specialists to transform the leadership offered by humanitarians and their organisations. Applications are now open for the July 2018 intake.
Developed, tested and refined over seven years, this programme will challenge you intellectually and emotionally.
This programme has been designed to enhance your understanding of the humanitarian system, build your ability to deliver humanitarian operations and support you to develop the quality of leadership you offer others in some of the most challenging and complex contexts.
Through expert-led seminars and workshops, guest speakers, individual coaching, peer learning, cutting edge distance learning resources and intensive simulation exercises you will put yourself through an experience that is unrivalled, and have the opportunity develop and put your leadership to the test in a safe and supportive environment.
Successful students will be awarded a Graduate Certificate of Humanitarian Leadership from Deakin University, and join a growing alumni of humanitarian leaders who represent the vanguard of change in the humanitarian industry.
