Course programme

Given current economic uncertainities and instability in financial markets, attention to sustainability faces additional challenges - but also potential opportunities. Constrained economic times could offer more incentive to take action for sustainability, given the potential mutual benefits that can be realised. For example, recent rises in oil and gas prices draws attention to our dependence on finite energy sources.

This part-time executive Masters programme will address these and other pressing issues that affect participants' abilities to take leadership for sustainability, through the collaboratively agreed apsects of its learning design and curriculum.

The MA's highly participative learning approach is based on action research. Participants’ engagement in learning sets and in an online networked learning community are key elements of the programme. The programme includes two online workshops and six residential workshops. Participants develop their own practice throughout the programme.
