Study sustainable business in a city and business school shaped by original thinking, social responsibility and real-world impact. This MSc is designed for students who want to understand sustainability as a complex business challenge, and develop the skills to influence meaningful change across organisations, sectors and society.
You will explore how businesses, governments and stakeholders respond to environmental, social and economic pressures, while learning to recognise the trade-offs, tensions and opportunities involved in sustainability transitions. Through modules covering key global sustainability challenges you will build a strong understanding of how organisations can respond to sustainability challenges in practical and strategic ways.
The course will help you develop the critical thinking, systems thinking, research, persuasion and advocacy skills needed to engage with contested issues and contribute to sustainable change.
You will learn through participatory teaching, debates, role-play, real-world examples and live projects, giving you the confidence to analyse complex problems, work collaboratively and produce evidence-based recommendations.
