Welcome
"If you are seeking a challenging management learning experience in a highly supportive environment, as well as a respected management qualification, then Lincoln’s EDP is for you.
Lincoln’s EDP offers two advanced management qualifications – the Master of Professional Studies (M Prof Studs) which enables managers to focus on a variety of industry specialisations and the Master of Property Studies (M Prop Studs) with its particular concentration on the property sector. While each degree has its particular qualities, all are designed for managers wishing to undertake further tertiary study who may not be able to commit either to full-time study or to an on-campus lecture schedule.
Lincoln University’s EDP utilises a business-based approach that focuses upon the sector in which the student is working or plans to work in. This is a key differentiator and mirrors the realities and complexities of business life, providing students with the best possible preparation for future challenges."

Manager Executive Development Programme
Programme overview
In contrast to many advanced management programmes which focus heavily on theory and analytical skills, Lincoln's EDP focuses on the actual management of organisations and, more importantly, the negotiation and integrative skills so valued by industry.
Lincoln’s EDP is specifically designed for managers wishing to undertake advanced managerial education and training while remaining in full-time employment. The EDP offers two advanced management qualifications – the Master of Professional Studies and the Master of Property Studies.
Each degree is studied part-time and off-campus by way of comprehensive printed and electronic course materials, augmented by periodic face-to-face facilitation sessions and, in some cases, weekend workshops. View Lincoln University's Key dates (PDF, 155 KB).
