Course summary
Overview
Climate change is the most pressing challenge facing humanity today. Governments and businesses are called into action to cut carbon emissions and mitigate global warming. The finance industry has an important role to play to accelerate the transition to net zero and to build more resilient and sustainable societies and economies.
The aim of the new MSc Climate Change, Sustainable Business and Green Finance is to develop graduates with specific competencies in climate change management, sustainability in business practices and green financing which are in high demand in both the private and public sectors. You will be introduced to the science of climate change and learn quantitative techniques and new business models to manage climate risk. You will explore in detail sustainable investments, energy, carbon and commodity markets.
This programme is taught using a hands-on, practice-centred approach. You will benefit from interactive teaching with our distinguished academics and industry guest speakers, applied training, case-study based projects and experiential learning.
Careers, accreditation & progression:
A recent search for relevant vacancies on ‘Totaljobs’ and ‘Indeed’ highlighted that organisations are eager to recruit staff who have a knowledge of sustainability, climate risk and green finance. Specific roles such as Junior Consultant (Carbon), ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Research Analyst, Sustainable Development Officer, ESG Risk Advisory Manager, Analyst (Renewable Energy Solutions), and Finance Advisor (Renewable Energy Trading) were listed.
