Master of Science in Sustainability and Consultancy

Program Overview

Prepare yourself for a career in the increasingly relevant field of sustainability consultancy through our hands-on and industry-led Sustainability and Consultancy MSc.

This course aligns closely with the challenges of sustainability and the skills that businesses and organisations need to tackle those challenges, with a strong emphasis on project skills. You will be taught the principles of the field, and have the opportunity to choose sustainability topics which align to your specific interest, as you build up to a focused professional consultancy project in which you will carry out discrete analysis with one of our industry partners.

Specialist modules are delivered by academic staff, practising consultants and other practitioners, giving you exposure to real-life, international case studies with a good understanding of the contemporary project and sustainability management techniques and solutions you will need to become a leader in the field.

Course highlights

This is an accredited Institute for Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) course and is widely recognised by employers as a real benefit for anyone in a role with environmental responsibility.
A major component of this Masters is that you will manage a consultancy project, which is usually in the form of an engagement with a professional organisation. This experience plays a key role in your personal and professional development.
Sustainability is an integrated issue across our teaching, rather than separating the environmental, economic and social elements.
You will benefit from the School of Earth and Environment’s active research environment as well as our excellent links with industry, ensuring that course content is both research-led and relevant to the industry.

Career opportunities

A degree from Leeds and the experience you'll gain here will give you the edge to find the career you want. Your course will give you the experience and knowledge that employers are looking for to help you secure a job.

University of Leeds students are among the top 5 most targeted by top employers according to The Graduate Market 2022, High Fliers’ Research.

Sustainability is a hot topic. We know that we are facing issues such as climate change, problems caused by the production of waste, the loss of bio-diversity and much of these can be caused by our industrial and commercial activities.

To meet the challenges of the future we must address these issues, and that’s why businesses and organisations across the world are looking for sustainability experts to help them reduce and mitigate their environmental and social impact.

Sustainability consultants can be found all across the globe, in a number of different organisations. Many work in the big engineering consultancy firms that build big pieces of infrastructure such as power stations, tunnels, roads and railways, where they assess the environmental and social impact of these developments and come up with plans to mitigate the effects.

Other consultants may work at business level, helping companies to reduce their own environmental and social impact caused by the execution of their business activities. Whilst many find themselves working in the public sector such as with local authorities.

Regardless of where in the world you want to live and work there is a need for sustainability expertise, and with increasing legislation from governments and industry’s own desire to remain competitive, this need is only going to become more prominent.
