MBA Strategic Carbon Management
The management of carbon emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change are set to be major factors defining the direction and structure of organisations for the foreseeable future.
The MBA in Strategic Carbon Management has been specifically designed to give managers both the practical and theoretical knowledge associated with responsible business practice as well as in-depth knowledge about the corporate impacts of climate change and they can be managed to maximise value and minimise risk.
The MBA is available as a one-year full-time course at the Norwich Business School at University of East Anglia starting in January.
The course has been extensively refreshed to ensure that it continues to meet the rapidly evolving requirements of this complex and developing area. Managers undertaking the course will acquire an extensive set of business and climate change related skills – from carbon trading to carbon footprinting and corporate climate change risk management.
Learning is reinforced by undertaking two climate change related consultancy projects with organisations – allowing managers to put theory into practice.
