*You’ll have the opportunity to review and redraft your mission statement while on the programme. For this reason, we’ll record your mission statement at the start of the video call. Please note this conversation will not be assessed.

Deadline 30 June

If you have any questions or require any adjustments during the application process or on the programme, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at [email protected]
