Why pursue the MSc in Leading Sustainable Transformations?
Develop the expertise and mindset to lead organizations through sustainable change with a program designed for impact-driven leaders.
I really liked the balance of hard and soft skill classes. A theatre workshop even helped me build public speaking skills. The diversity in class was really rich - we worked with people from Mexico, India, Poland, France, and more. Everyone brought different insights into how sustainability works in their country. The semester in London really opened my mind to how sustainability is applied differently across the world.
What stood out was the wide range of classes. It drew me in because I didn’t have much business experience, and I wanted to see how sustainability played a role across different aspects of business. I really loved that it covered everything from finance and economics through to management, even classes on emotions and public speaking. I was previously trained in the technical aspects of fashion, but the MSc gave me the knowledge and credentials to prove I could work in sustainability.
