Postgraduate Certificate in Sustainable Business (PCSB)

PCSB is the University of Cambridge Master’s-level programme in sustainable business. Much more than a sustainable business training course, through a part-time eight-month programme it equips senior and mid-career managers with cutting-edge knowledge and insight to integrate sustainability thinking into business practice. By moving beyond corporate social responsibility training, the course looks at how successful business and sustainable development can be integrated, bringing about positive change.

Master of Studies in Sustainability Leadership

Designed for senior managers and leaders and delivered on a part-time basis over two years, this Master’s course is the University of Cambridge's postgraduate degree in sustainable business. A combination of leading academics and senior practitioners deliver essential insight, analysis and horizon-scanning of critical social, environmental and economic trends, and help students to research and develop robust strategies to embed sustainability within their organisations. Together, they explore how business, government and civil society are future-proofing themselves and responding to these complex challenges and opportunities to reconcile profitability and sustainable business.

The strength of our Master’s-level programmes in sustainable business lies in the combination of academic rigour as an accredited University programme, with an emphasis on practical application and action.  

With access to cutting-edge interdisciplinary thinking on sustainability from leading Cambridge academics and other thought-leaders, the aim is to build the capacity of professionals to bring about positive change for sustainability within their organisations.

The Postgraduate Certificate is administered by CPSL, whilst the interdisciplinary Master of Studies programme is offered in association with the Departments of Architecture, Engineering, Geography, Land Economy and the Judge Business School.
