Course Summary

COURSE OVERVIEW

Corporate responsibility and sustainability have become significant issues for a wide range of organisations 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 practise problem-focused decision-making on a range of economic, social and environmental issues that affect the operation of contemporary organisations. 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 PhD.

Modules

On this module you will learn how to critically appraise published research in the field of management, and gain the skills to design your own research proposal and project.
