In light of a rapidly changing global landscape, traditional business is no longer a viable option. There is a shift away from profit only to purpose, planet and people as new business values. Whether it is reaching Net Zero, embedding environmental sustainability or social responsibility, all businesses need to realign to these emerging future priorities. In this programme, you’ll develop the mindset and skills to be at the forefront of change and support the transition to reach the ‘new normal’ for businesses. Given this, businesses will be looking for managers of the future to create resilient companies. We will teach you not only how to manage a business responsibly, but how to be ahead of the market and implement the changes needed to move businesses into a sustainable future.
If applying for this programme, you will need to meet the University of Derby general entry requirements for a master’s degree. Applicants will normally be in possession of a UK 2.2 (or above) bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification from a recognised British or overseas Institution listed on ENIC-TI. All subjects are considered, but possession of degrees or relevant experience in related subjects will be advantageous.
If English is not your first language, we will need to see that you have an English language capability of IELTS 6.5 (with 5.5 in each skills area) or equivalent.
You’ll be well suited to support businesses to develop their sustainability across a range of sectors. The programme also specifically provides Carbon Literacy certification which is a critical and much sought-after skill in supporting the wider business community in meeting Net Zero targets.
The programme also fosters your development as a responsible leader or manager and business practitioner with the mindset, knowledge, skills and professional competencies to support the transition to a more responsible, sustainable global economy.
