MSc Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability

... United Kingdom
... Birkbeck University of London

Course Overview

Corporate responsibility and sustainability have become significant issues for a wide range of organizations and for the managers who work within them. The reasons for this include:

high-profile corporate scandals

a growing need to demonstrate accountability, transparency, and sustainability

a decreasing tolerance for corporate excess and irresponsibility

the need to protect corporate reputation and to develop brand loyalty and competitive advantage.

The MSc Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability will deepen your understanding and stimulate critical thinking in these areas. You will have the opportunity to practice problem-focused decision-making on a range of economic, social, and environmental issues that affect the operation of contemporary organizations. The course will be of benefit if you wish to develop further insights into corporate responsibility and sustainability as part of your career, or if you have limited knowledge of the subject but would like to embark on a career in this sector. It is also ideal if you wish to continue on to a Ph.D.

Graduates can pursue career paths in the local and national government, business, and industry. Possible professions include:

management consultant

human resources officer

operational researcher

marketing executive

retail manager.
