PG Cert Decarbonisation - Part-Time

  • DeadlineStudy Details: PG Cert 8 months part-time

Course Description

Lead society towards a net-zero world by developing your knowledge of managing sustainability in organisations to deliver decarbonisation initiatives with real impact.

As we face a climate emergency, reaching net zero is vital for organisations. Decarbonisation and sustainability play a crucial role in this journey forward. We must adapt to the complexities of reducing carbon emissions across practices, processes, and technologies. This challenging transition also creates an opportunity for a new kind of workforce. We need climate-literate graduates with technical, managerial, analytical, and strategic mindsets.

Our master’s focuses on training you to take on decarbonisation projects and sustainability initiatives across business and industry. You’ll develop your knowledge in areas employers highly value. These include systems thinking, critical analysis, creativity, and the collaborative and interpersonal skills to lead organisational and sustainable change.

A flexible and collaborative learning experience
We provide flexible, hybrid options to learning (subject to visa requirements) so if you can’t always be on campus, you can still engage fully and build valuable remote-working skills. It also allows us to reduce our course’s carbon impact.

We take a team-based approach to learning because the more experience of teamwork you have, the better prepared you’ll be for the workplace. Throughout the course you’ll work in diverse groups with students from a range of backgrounds for a unique educational experience.

Entry Requirements

You should have a Bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent, typically a 2:2 or above.

To apply for this course, you should have an undergraduate degree in a numerate subject. This includes engineering and science degrees, as well as other disciplines where there is a numerate element to the course such as architecture, economics, psychology or business.

If your first language is not English but within the last 2 years you completed your degree in the UK you may be exempt from our English language requirements. A combined offer (with English pre-sessional) may be offered to students who do not meet the IELTS criteria but whose other credentials meet the programme requirements.

We may make an offer based on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree.
