Overview

The Sustainability in Practice course from MLA College aimed at mid to senior management the MSc Sustainability in Practice programme is designed for leaders, managers and individuals in charge of teams or workplace sustainability. This course will be delivered by distance learning and is fully tutor supported.

Eager to learn, develop and drive organisational change in the world of sustainability, you will have the opportunity to undertake a 12-month research project that will explore your workplace or community challenges as well as create authentic and sustainable solutions that can be implemented.

The process will start with a planning phase. We will ask you to plot a course of creating sustainable changes to your workplace or community, and then roll up your sleeves and put them into practice.

Key facts:

This is why it is called Participatory Action Research – it is about you getting involved and taking part in the making of change, not just ‘directing traffic’. Along the way, we will talk about designing evaluations, creating objectives, dealing with conflict and considering others.

You will directly contribute to the effective attainment of at least one SDG by developing authentic and sustainable solutions to problems in your working environment. You may not fully complete this by the end, but you will reflect upon the process and identify opportunities for future projects. You may have only made a start but, by doing so, you will have left the world of talking about sustainability behind and taken active ownership of some part of a sustainable future.
