Course descriptionThe Environmental Management MBA integrates the specialist knowledge of environmental science management witha managerial business perspective.
Many large companies have already acknowledged and addressed their environmental responsibilities, but small companies - which may create 70% of industrial pollution - are reluctant to enter the environmental management arena. They anticipate that the costs of environmental management will be prohibitive.
The programme will explore opportunities for companies to embrace environmental management in a profitable way. The intertwined aspects of this will be developed in the mandatory modules of the course: technical, legislative and fiscal.
Reasons to choose Environmental Management MBA degree
Environmental Law is now founded on EU directives and it is becoming essential for companies to plan for future legislation, and finally taxation to reflect environmental damage is a tool increasingly applied by governments. Successful companies will need managers who can address all of these issues.
Future prospects
Successful completion of this course will prepare you for positions in small to large companies and agencies such as chambers of commerce and local government, as well as consultancies.
