MBA Master of Business Administration (Sustainability)

In this module, you'll analyse theoretical approaches to leadership before applying these to strategic and sustainable business issues. You'll engage with business leaders to identify and develop the employability skills sought after in the digital and global work environments of the future. You'll also conduct reflective practice throughout the module, working to develop a deeper understanding of your own leadership style and identify areas for future development as a sustainable business leader.

This module will allow you to explore the unique opportunities and challenges of conducting business internationally as globalisation and the digital revolution have increased global connectedness in business. You'll develop innovative and sustainable solutions and strategies for current and emerging international business issues. You'll then critically analyse approaches to leadership and management in a strategic, international business context to develop diverse stakeholder management acumen and digital business competencies.

This module will help you gain insight into digital enterprises and the nature of sustainable innovation. You'll explore issues of culture, communication, and leadership within digital enterprises, considering the unique opportunities and challenges they face. You'll also work in conjunction with local and national digital enterprises, and apply your understanding of the underlying theoretical concepts learned to authentic business challenges, and develop your digital competencies for future employability.

This module introduces you to the global development of environmental concern and governance, and how environmental policy is created and implemented by organisations. You’ll gain an understanding of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria and explore strategies for managing ESG risks, while critically analysing approaches such as carbon management, climate action plans, environmental impact assessments, and ESG reporting. The module also focuses on applying environmental policy in real-world settings, including consultancy-style work with local organisations, and using digital tools to collect and analyse data to support effective environmental business strategies.

Critically examine a suitable topic by completing a research project into an organisation or industry sector with which you're familiar. You'll complete a series of personal competence, digital skills, and research methods seminars, all designed to support your research project. You'll also develop a critical understanding of the role and importance of research into sustainable business practice, and by investigating an authentic business issue, you'll be better prepared for your return to, or entry into, the world of work, along with an enhanced awareness of your own professional development as a future business leader.
