Looking for the next step in your professional career? Wondering if you can enhance your professional practice by accessing the latest research? BTI’s Master of Professional Practice and Leadership postgraduate degree offers all of this and more.
Dr Nikki Kiyimba, an experienced international researcher, author and educator, explains our MPPL programme in this video.
At BTI we recognise that we are created to engage with the spiritual dimension as well as with the social and physical aspects of people’s lives in the places where we live and work. It is this unique approach to the Master’s degree, together with an integration of theoretical, personal, and professional learning spaces, that will give you the edge over other professionals.
A key component of our professional master’s degree programme is to heighten awareness of your own gifts, talents, strengths, weaknesses and ways of thinking that influence your ‘ways of being’. By engaging in this way, students enter into a practical synthesis between existing literature, personal experience, the Biblical narrative and your own professional context, allowing each to inform the other. These cycles of critical reflection provide opportunities for questioning societal, cultural, and institutional norms and potentially challenging some of the prevailing assumptions and values that inform them.
Completing a reputable postgraduate programme such as the MPPL can help to advance your career, moving you up the career ladder, or into a connected field.
We have students on this programme from all professional backgrounds who are seeking to transition to a deeper level of understanding of the intersection between their personal gifts and calling and their professional context.
