Strategic Sustainability Management MSc

The MSc Strategic Sustainability Management programme is an alternative to our MSc Sustainability and Environmental Management. It focuses on strategic management, corporate sustainability and environmental impact; these are key areas that future-focused organisations are considering in order to operate and excel in an ever-challenging climate.

Develop a clear understanding of key strategic business disciplines with real world studies and leading edge theory. Learn how organisations can operate in a sustainable manner and ensure they rise to corporate sustainability challenges facing businesses today and tomorrow. You will enrich your learning with real-life case studies and guest speakers from industry.

The programme will cover key areas such as environmental policy, law and regulation in the UK and internationally. Learn how to adopt sustainable solutions to solve environmental problems using environmental management tools and techniques and the skills required to drive positive change in organisational culture and environmental performance.

A cutting-edge, globally oriented curriculum based on real-world learning

On this course, you will gain a rounded view of strategic environmental management, exploring the subject on global scale across professional disciplines. You will be learning with piers across the globe all sharing their own experiences, local practices and cultures. This will give you the ability to implement and lead innovative strategy for business and environmental sustainability, a valuable and highly transferable skill set which will be attractive to future-focused employers world-wide.

Choose from an Independent study or an Academic Paper

For your independent study you can take part in a in-depth research project applied to your place of work suited to your professional interests. However if you're keen to pursue a passion for academic research, then you can option to undertake an academic paper to be put forward for publication in a peer review journal or equivalent.

Ideally suited to senior executives or middle management to develop your strategic skills and support your career progression.

You should normally have a UK undergraduate degree (at least a 2:2) with honours in any discipline or equivalent. Where candidates have a Business-related degree with a lower classification, we would consider entry with an additional 1-2 years of work experience at a relevant supervisory or managerial level.

We would also consider:

• Professional qualifications
• Relevant work experience equivalent to an undergraduate degree

After completing this MSc, you will have developed your research and analytical skills, be able to communicate effectively, identify the latest thinking, theories and issues and critically appraise them and their relevance in a variety of strategic management situations.
