Your eligibility for the Leadership for Sustainability
We want to make education accessible to everyone, which is why we offer a couple of different entry routes. You’ll also need to pass your first assignment set within the two-week induction period of the course to continue with your studies, as well as meeting our minimum English language requirements, which is equivalent to an IELTS (Academic) score of 6.5.
To meet the academic entry route for our MSc Leadership for Sustainability, you’ll need an undergraduate degree from an approved institution, equivalent to a UK Honours degree; or a relevant professional qualification. For the work experience route, you’ll need at least three years’ experience within a relevant field of business, industry, or a not-for-profit organisation, supported by two appropriate references.
Looking for a shorter course?
The study duration of our 100% online MSc Leadership for Sustainability course is two years. If you’re looking for a slightly shorter course, we’ve launched the PG Dip Leadership for Sustainability with a study time of 16 months and the PG Cert Leadership for Sustainability, which takes eight months to complete. Both are valued professional qualifications and can be used as a stepping stone towards pursuing the full Masters degree.
