Course Overview

Advance your management career with the Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship (CMDA) programme. This apprenticeship programme comprises the Lancaster University Fd and BA Hons Management (Leadership) degree and is accessed through your existing organisation and their internal funding processes.

You will be provided with an excellent range of management and leadership skills to support your management career. You will also be accredited by the Chartered Management Institute and achieve the L5 Qualification in Leadership and Management as part of your degree apprenticeship programme. Through gaining dual accreditation with CMI, you will stand out from other candidates and be highly sought after by employers. You will also have the opportunity to become a Chartered Manager.
