Prepare yourself for a career in the increasingly relevant field of sustainability consultancy, through our industry-led Sustainability and Consultancy MSc. Sustainability is a hot topic. We are facing an increase in environmental degradation, social inequalities and economic disparities due to various issues, such as climate change, problems caused by waste production, and the loss of biodiversity, and many of these can be caused by our industrial and commercial activities. To meet the challenges of the future, we must address these issues. That’s why businesses and organisations worldwide are looking for sustainability experts to help support them in reducing and mitigating their negative impacts through changes in their business strategies, practices, and projects. This course aligns closely with sustainability challenges and the skills businesses and organisations need to tackle those challenges, with a strong emphasis on project skills. You'll be taught the principles of the field and have the opportunity to choose sustainability topics which align with your specific interests as you build up to a focused professional consultancy project in which you'll carry out discrete analysis with one of our industry partners. Specialist modules are delivered by academic staff, practising consultants and other practitioners, giving you exposure to real-life, international case studies with a good understanding of the contemporary project and sustainability management techniques and solutions you'll need to become a leader in the field.
