Speaking during the validation process, the University’s Academic Quality and Standards Committee Member Professor Jon Scott said, “This is a well-designed programme which is clearly focused on the target student population and brings in directly relevant expertise.”

The Minister for the University, Gilbert Licudi said: “COVID 19 has affected all institutions, including the University of Gibraltar. It is, however, important that planning continues to be made for future programmes and the development of the University. I congratulate the University in obtaining validation for its MA Leadership and Management. This programme will equip those leaders and managers whose role will be vital part as we prepare to rebuild Gibraltar from the effects of COVID 19.​”
