Open-book assessments that mirror real practice

Real leadership is about finding, evaluating, and applying information, not reciting it. That is why the programme uses open-book assessments rather than traditional question and answer exams. You will demonstrate mastery by synthesising research, building arguments, and presenting practical solutions.

This approach rewards critical thinking, creativity, and strategic clarity, encouraging you to connect theory to the realities of your organisation and the wider media ecosystem.
