UNILEAD 2012/2013
Information on the Intensive Blended Learning Programme UNILEAD
(University Leadership and Management Training Course) in Germany
The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the University of Oldenburg in Germany, and the
Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in South Africa are jointly organising an intensive Higher
Education Management Training Course (UNILEAD) in Oldenburg. UNILEAD is part of the DIES
programme (Dialogue on Innovative Higher Education Strategies), which has been jointly coordinated
by the DAAD and HRK (German Rectors’ Conference) since 2001. The costs for this training course
will be mainly covered by funds provided by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation
and Development (BMZ) through the DAAD.
The professional training course combines online and contact phases in a Blended Learning
approach: After an introduction phase of Distance Learning the initial contact phase with a duration of
three weeks (Project Management and Management of Financial Resources) will be organised in
September 2012 at the University of Oldenburg in Germany. The second contact phase focusing on
Human Resource Management will take place in February 2013. In between, participants are asked to
apply the skills acquired at the home university within individual projects while being accompanied by
distance coaches.
Course Contents and Methodology
The course covers topics with relevance to Higher Education Management in the following three
areas:
•
1st module: Project Management
•
2nd module: Management of Financial Resources
•
3rd module: Human Resource Management
The methodology will be strictly practice orientated and is based on case studies or questions derived
from the particular job situation of the participants. Thus, it is expected to bring in personal experience
and to share this knowledge with the group of around 20 participants from different regions of the
world. High personal motivation, the willingness to get actively involved during the online and contact
phases, and English language skills on an advanced level are essential for the successful completion
of this course.
Within contact phases at the University of Oldenburg, all three modules will be covered. Prior, and in
preparation to this, an online phase of 8-10 weeks is scheduled in which the participants are asked to
read the study material and to work on short papers, including the draft of a project action plan. These
papers are meant to describe the individual work experience at the home university and to identify
problems and obstacles referring to the topics of the course. During the first contact phase the
personal action plans will be adjusted and fine-tuned; the milestones of the project action plans will be
monitored by distance coaching between September 2012 and February 2013. Finally, during the
contact phase of the last module there will be the opportunity to reflect on the implementation of the
individual projects and to discuss on next steps.

The following table shows the dates of the online and contact phases:
