Overview

The use of natural resources for energy, bioplastics, construction, textiles, biomedical and daily consumables, as well as the creation of jobs around these innovative green industries, will be central to a global bioeconomic transition. As fossil resources are increasingly replaced with renewables and recyclables and the global population and economy keeps growing, there is increasing pressure to develop the increasingly large-scale use of natural resources in a responsible way in the global environment.

The focus of the Dual Master’s in Green Business program at University of British Columbia concentrates on the global and local development of natural resource-based products and services along a structural redevelopment into the bioeconomy. The program aims at combining a combination of functional focus in green business practices with substance and industry expertise on the technological processes that make the products and services possible.

Learning Outcomes

The program is designed for environmentally focused early career professionals. It emphasizes the sustainable use of natural resources to meet the growing global demand for goods and energy, while minimizing negative environmental and societal impacts. The Green Business program will create graduates who have abilities and practical skills to work as business leaders in both traditional and non-traditional green industries.
