Advanced Diploma and Pgcert/Masters in Management and the Environment

Advanced Diploma and Pgcert/Masters in Management and the Environment

This course is based on an innovative programme intended for the new breed of managers who seek to lead their business or organization in environmental issues. It is intended primarily for those who are working in or aspire to work in an organization with an environmentally sensitive approach to management (an eco-business) or a business that is an active player in the environment industry. It focuses on underpinning knowledge and practical skills in sustainable management. The course is integrated into key work objectives, targets and projects as a Work-Based Learning programme. We are working towards recognition of credits for a university honours or masters qualification encompassing key management skills that are required to achieve sustainability and to exploit the emerging "eco-marketplace".

These include sustainable resource management, planning for sustainability, effective networking in the eco-marketplace and leadership with environmental awareness (promotion of green values, etc). the course outcomes and competencies are aligned to a level 6 and 7 management programme.
