Leadership for Sustainable Impact (N1075E)

15 credits, Level 5

Spring teaching

On this module, you’ll reimagine leadership for a sustainable future. Through this, you’ll develop the mindset, knowledge and skills to lead with purpose, creativity and integrity.

Instead of only observing leadership, you’ll practise it. You’ll:

• shape a sustainability project or initiative that responds to modern environmental, social, or economic challenges
• identify and investigate a real sustainability issue or concern within a small group
• apply key concepts to develop an innovative solution
• receive guidance and formative feedback from external business partners
• refine your ideas into robust and credible proposals
• complete the module with a live pitch event, presenting your project to a panel of experts.

This experience will develop your employability skills and will be a great addition to your CV. Ultimately, the module will challenge you to engage with sustainability as proactive changemakers.
