Sustainable Business Leadership PGCert

at University of Leeds

Our distance learning Sustainable Business Leadership Postgraduate Certificate course will begin with a two-week online induction designed to prepare you for online learning at the University of Leeds. It will introduce the study skills you will need to successfully complete your degree.
 

Delivered online, the course offers a flexible schedule of modules which are structured to be accessible to working professionals. There are four individual 15-credit taught modules, and you will typically spend eight weeks studying each module. The Postgraduate Certificate incorporates the three compulsory modules: Sustainability and Business, Policy, Governance and Sustainability, and Contemporary Economics; plus, you can choose a fourth optional module to help you upskill in an area of interest to you.
 

You can take the course at your own pace and adapt your studies to fit around your work and life commitments. To give you flexibility, it is possible to pause your studies and take them up again at a later point. This means you can choose to complete the Sustainable Business Leadership Postgraduate Certificate in a minimum of 8 months or up to a maximum of two years.
