This programme is accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). Students of this programme will graduate with the dual award of a Bangor University Masters and a Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership.
This course is approved by the Institute of Sustainability and Environmental Professionals (ISEP).
This one-year course is intended for students with a keen interest in integrating environmental management with business practices. It includes free membership to ISEP, the Institute for Environmental and Sustainability Professionals. The role of the corporate environmental manager is becoming increasingly complex and strategic. Corporate social and environmental responsibility is becoming prominent in consumer demand and a pre-requisite for tender eligibility. This necessitates a more sophisticated environmental manager who can interpret legislative and audit requirements and deliver them in a manner conducive to continued economic development, whilst recognising the market trends. The aim of this programme is to develop skills in the delivery of economic activities related to environment, green technology and sustainability. The programme includes highly topical case studies from across these sectors reflecting changing strategies and alternative approaches. The course is suitable for graduates in a wide range of disciplines, including Environment, Engineering, Finance, Social Sciences and other subjects.
"The MBA is a fantastic chance for me – not only is it carrying on and expanding with the environmental side that I learnt in my undergraduate degree, putting my knowledge into a more realistic context, but it is also teaching me about how businesses function on both a human and financial side which will be vital after university." CHARLIE WILD
"Studying the MBA Environmental Management is one of the best decisions I have ever made. The course has put many things into perspective and I have learnt so much in such a short space of time that I know I will benefit from in the future. The course is like having the best of both worlds as you are able to access two knowledge-pools, both of which have expertise in all types of fields." BECCA JONES (Full profile)
