In a couple of months time Mayvin is starting it's new MA in People and Organisation Development Programme, which by now you probably know we are very excited about. It will give participants a post-graduate certificate after year 1 and the opportunity to take it all the way to a full MA after year 3.

Programme Director James Traeger and Year 1 Lead Carolyn Norgate have been hosting online open days and having one to one chats with prospective participants for about six months now. So we decided to lock them in a room and asked them to talk through the most frequently asked questions and topics of conversation that have come up so far.

So if you're interested, but haven't been able to make any of the open days yet, or perhaps aren't feeling brave enough to get in touch with us yet, or maybe a little bit curious as to what we're up to, this podcast is for you.

In the chat James and Carolyn cover: 

1. How and why the programme started.
2. Who the programme is for.
3. The synergies of it being an MA.
4. That it's an inquiry based programme with action research at the heart.
5. The reasons for doing a masters, such as professional recognition and the kudos in gaining a qualification, as well as the usefulness of the skills acquired.
6. The paradigm of this programme is that it's about the process itself.
7. The future of organisations or the future of organising module. And what this might mean in a potentially hopefully, post pandemic world with Gen Z employees.
8. They go on to cover the practicalities of the programme, so that you can enter or exit at different levels, the certificate, the diploma and the dissertation.
9. The fact that the MA is a combination of online and face to face activities, and the flexibility of this programme, and that we're keen to develop it in hand with you.
10. Our face to face venue, Lane End.
11. And finally the finance, pricing, bursaries, payment options and so on.

So hopefully after listening you'll leave with a clearer sense of the environment we're trying to build here. But if you have any further questions or any queries, please do get in touch with us.
