If you have been studying in the UK for the last three years it is unlikely that you will have to take an English language test.

If you have studied in the UK at degree level for less than three years (e.g. 3+1, 2+1, 2+2, etc.) you will be required to provide the results of an approved English language test and possibly resit the test to meet our academic entry requirements.

Full list of approved English language tests/qualifications and minimum requirements.

Graduates can expect at least three different avenues toward the job market.

Develop your career in the financial sector, and steer institutional ESG transformation as a business analyst, or as an innovation manager /service innovation specialist. Your degree allows you as well to take up traditionally known roles, such as investment manager or data analyst and apply your forward-looking knowledge accordingly.

You could also enter the advisory industry, and work in consolidated consultancy firms or smaller niche oriented advisory firms in the sustainability field.

You might join a business to help them develop their core business sustainability strategy or their sustainable finance strategy. You might also find interest in green oriented start-up ventures, who are always seeking for individuals with a hybrid, i.e., inter-disciplinary knowledge. This course can as well push you to develop your own sustainable business idea and bring your venture to the market.

Last, but not least, this course can push you in working for purpose-oriented organisations such as NGO’s or B-Corps, etc., where you can put in practice your business skills while working for a cause that you care.
