Introduction
Corporate Social Responsibility, or Corporate Sustainability as leading companies are increasingly re-naming it, has never been more relevant to our organizations. Our Management and Corporate Sustainability MSc will teach you the practicalities of how businesses successfully embed sustainability into their core business purpose and strategy.
Management and Corporate Sustainability MSc provides you with the practical knowledge and skills required for all senior leadership positions. It shares a number of modules and other course activities with our Management MSc course, which is ranked 6th in the UK and 28th in the world in the QS World University Rankings: Masters in Management (MiM) ranking 2022.
Cranfield School of Management consistently performs well in international business rankings. We are top 10 in the UK and 34th in Europe in the Financial Times European Business School 2021 Rankings.
Our approach to teaching is designed to nurture your practical business skills and confidence and places a huge emphasis on real-world challenges.

You will gain access to our Sustainability Network, which is an informal network of scholars, practitioners and students, where you can learn and develop your knowledge and understanding of how to embed sustainability in the practice of businesses and in the forefront of its leaders’ minds. The Network offers a range of events from guest lectures to seminars and workshops, where you can really engage with industry experts and explore the opportunities offered in sustainability.
