As a society, we face urgent challenges from the impact of climate emergencies, environmental damage, and social inequality. There is a pressing need for organisations to transform their cultures, processes, and even business models. You will have the opportunity to learn about business and its impact and explore how to build a humane, resilient future and align business mandates and missions with ethical responsibility.
The MSc in Global Strategy and Sustainability has been developed to provide students with a critical understanding of the theories, processes, behaviours and institutional forces effecting the environmental sustainability, social responsibility and positive impact within private, public, and third sector organisations, and the role of strategy in affecting local and global outcomes.
You will need a UK first-class or 2:1 honours degree in one of the subjects below, or an equivalent international qualification.
