Course Introduction

The MSc in Sustainable Operations and Management appeals to students wishing to develop a career in management with a strong interest in pursuing environmentally sustainable and socially responsible strategies. The course provides a detailed understanding of the context in which a modern business operates and the many interrelated factors that influence its operational environment.

Course Syllabus

Initially, MSc students take a number of compulsory modules to provide the foundations for an understanding of management. There is then the opportunity to choose from a range of specialist modules before embarking on a dissertation looking at environmental sustainability and its impact on a specific aspect of a business activity.

Special Features

The School of Management is accredited by The European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).

Teaching Methods

Teaching on the programme will be directed, supported and reinforced through a combination of formal lectures, staff/student led group discussions, personal research and guided self study, tutorials, seminars and directed reading. These activities will all be further supported by the use of a virtual learning environment.

Generally the programme will aim to integrate applied and theoretical knowledge with assessment processes that test both knowledge of the discipline and understanding of its application and limitations.

To facilitate learning, lectures and seminars will typically utilise case studies, simulations and guided research workshops. Sessions may be delivered weekly or in blocks. Small Group sessions will use case studies and simulations with oral feedback given in class. Students will be guided to suitable primary and secondary data sources and be required to conduct research and presentation exercises.

The programme is summatively assessed by a mixture of written examinations, assessed coursework, management reports, portfolios, learning logs and multimedia presentations. Assessment is integrated with learning and teaching to support and demonstrate achievement of the learning outcomes for individual modules and the programme as a whole. Emphasis is place on the feedback function of formative assessment as part of the learning, teaching and assessment strategy as a whole.
