Master of Studies in Sustainability Leadership

University of Cambridge

The Master's helps to develop leaders who can respond effectively to the economic, social and environmental challenges facing the world and lead others to achieve positive change. It is fully accredited by the University of Cambridge, and is delivered as an interdisciplinary programme by CISL, drawing on academic expertise from the Departments of Engineering, Geography, Land Economy, Zoology, and the Cambridge Judge Business School, among others. Both academic excellence and practical application in a business context are prioritised in the competitive selection process, and in the design and delivery of the programme. Assessment is through short practical assignments as well as an extended research assignment. The programme attracts an exceptional calibre of senior and mid-career leaders globally from a wide range of sectors. Applicants may wish to formalise their credentials as sustainability professionals or gain a better understanding of how sustainability risks and opportunities apply to mainstream business functions. We likewise appeal to leaders from the not-for-profit or public sectors who wish to work together with the private sector to address sustainability challenges.
