Various industries, including finance, insurance, real estate, consultancy, and many others, have a growing demand for professionals well-versed in ESG matters. Effective work in the ESG domain necessitates a blend of skills, including the ability to analyse complexity, employ critical thinking, demonstrate high-level interpersonal aptitude, and apply analytical proficiency. These competencies are vital for success in an environment that is rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly intricate. We offer you a competitive yet challenging 1-year study program to develop skills across different disciplines: Management and Finance.

Getting in
As the university states it
A UK upper second class degree or above, or the equivalent from an overseas institution. Some level of previous study in business or finance is preferred. Work experience is not a requirement of this course. If you have been studying in the UK for the last three years it is unlikely that you will have to take an English language test. If you have studied in the UK at degree level for less than three years (e.g. 3+1, 2+1, 2+2, etc.) you will be required to provide the results of an approved English language test and possibly resit the test to meet our academic entry requirements.
