Sustainable Business Leadership MSc

In an increasingly interconnected and resource-constrained world, businesses and business leaders are facing significant challenges associated with strategic sustainability management. The course is structured around three key areas which cover sustainability challenges, sustainability leadership and practice, and sustainability management to give you an in-depth understanding of sustainability within leadership and management alongside its opportunities and challenges.

  • This course helps prepare you for jobs in corporate sustainability management and/or corporate social responsibility.
  • Using a balance of theory and practice, you’ll analyse key sustainability challenges encountered by business leaders, and generate real-life solutions towards resolving these

You’ll have the opportunity to develop an integrative understanding of the role of business in overcoming the challenges of sustainability.
