Lead sustainable change through research and professional accreditation. This MRes in Management and Sustainability is for professionals who want to tackle real sustainability challenges and influence responsible business practice.
Unlike a taught master’s, you'll focus on independent research supported by an academic supervisor. You’ll design and lead a project based on your organisation or sector.
You’ll gain expertise in sustainable strategy, responsible management, and systems thinking. You'll also develop strong research and analytical skills. Your findings will translate into actionable recommendations that shape ethical and sustainable decisions.
The programme is accredited by the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals (ISEP). https://www.isepglobal.org/. This means you'll graduate with an MRes and a professional sustainability certification at no extra cost.
