Sustainable Business Leadership University of Leeds

Overview

The  Sustainable Business Leadership course from University of Leeds  speaks directly to the skills that employers are actively seeking. You will use your newly acquired knowledge to make a positive contribution to sustainability and make a meaningful impact in your organisation, by helping to evaluate the risks and opportunities associated with shaping sustainable strategies.

We have an MSc course, incorporating three foundation modules, six development modules, plus a project to allow you to identify and develop research in an area of interest. Alternatively, you can study our Postgraduate Certificate, consisting of three foundation modules and one development module of your choice. Both the Masters and Postgraduate Certificate are taught at the same academic level and contain the same foundation modules: Sustainability and Business, Policy, Governance and Sustainability, and Contemporary Economics.

You’ll develop knowledge and skills relating to select core issues around business and sustainability; for example, the relationship between business and sustainability, the external and internal forces prompting organisations to incorporate sustainability into current operations, and future strategies.
