"I found the two years with the Centre for Leadership Studies to be an amazing experience. I learnt so much about myself and my framing of my leadership arena. This came from not only the course material, but also the coaching that the experienced staff provided and the experiences of other students, who came from very different working environments and therefore could provide contrasting perspectives on topical issues." - Bobby Watkins, Consumer Division Manager, Acer UK

"Leadership knows no boundaries. You don't need to be in a classroom to fully grasp and understand leadership. The Centre for Leadership Studies creates an interactive, relevant and dynamic program that I can feel part of...all the way from Canada. It is where you can combine thoughts and practice to better understand yourself, the class and the concepts." - Sam (Ajit) Thiara, Student Affairs Officer, Faculty of Business, Simon Fraser University, Canada

"As part of a multi-stakeholder change programme the ability to better dissect, analyse and understand my own leadership style and role, and those of others, has been invaluable." - Brigadier John Wallace, Commandant of the Defence College of Logistics and Personnel Administration

"Can you believe a Tokyo-based, middle-aged business man who is busy travelling the world is studying leadership at Exeter University every night? The leadership I'm studying here might be different from what you think it is. I find it is more artistic than scientific."- Saburo Haruta, Team Leader, LNG & Tank Calibration Team, Second Survey Service Center, NKKK (Nippon Kaiji Kentei Kyokai), Japan
