MSc Global Sustainable Business Management

Northumbria University’s MSc in Global Sustainable Business Management is a master's programme that teaches students to operate businesses responsibly. You'll learn about doing business worldwide while being responsible, following guidelines like the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

The course covers important topics such as planning for sustainability, creating new things responsibly, and the idea of a circular economy (where resources are reused). You can also pick some extra subjects to study, like doing business ethically and starting sustainable businesses. The Newcastle Business School has a special stamp of approval from an important organisation called AACSB.

You'll learn through talks, hands-on sessions, and group projects, but you'll also do self-study. Your progress will be checked through essays, presentations, exams, and a dissertation, where you look at a real sustainability problem.
