Overview

The Leadership for the Built Environment from University of Cambridge aims 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.
Develop skills in leadership, effective collaboration, and communication for action - particularly between clients, consultants, contractors, specialists and occupiers.

Key facts:

The programmes are available as a part-time Master’s or Postgraduate Certificate, offered by the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) and supported by the Departments of Architecture and Engineering.

Delivering exceptional future-fit built environment projects requires the deep-skill discipline of many individuals sharing a collective vision and purpose. Our Sustainability Leadership for the Built Environment programmes teach 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.
