Overview

Sustainability Leadership for the Built Environment at University of Cambridge teaches global best practices through project-based learning, with a focus on collaboration and leadership throughout.

It is truly interdisciplinary in the background of its staff, students and the areas it covers. The Master’s and Postgraduate Certificates are structured around emerging trends, opportunities, and challenges within the built environment such as sustainability and resilience, health and well-being, retrofit and reuse, energy efficiency and carbon, conservation and heritage, stakeholder engagement, political and regulatory landscapes.

The learning approach is highly interactive and designed to encourage reflection and debate. Students are supported by a team of expert supervisors. The speakers and facilitators are leading experts and practitioners from both academia and industry.

A key feature of the programme is the collaborative learning experience. The programmes facilitate shared learning between peers, and networking with an extensive range of contributors, together providing a rich learning environment.

Our courses aim to:

Build awareness regarding current challenges and opportunities facing the built environment, such as sustainability, resilience, climate change, and rapid urbanisation.
Equip professionals with the strategic decision-making, inventive problem-solving, leadership, and collaboration skills needed to respond to the challenges and opportunities.
