BSc (Hons) Business Management (Sustainability)

programme overview

The most forward-thinking businesses today are not just chasing profit. They are building lasting value by placing social impact and sustainability at the centre of corporate decision-making. This degree prepares you to lead that charge.

This BSc in Business Sustainability gives you the skills, knowledge, and practical experience to make a meaningful difference in the organisations you work with. Upon graduating, you could run your own ethical business, step into a specialist sustainability role, or advise existing companies on reducing their environmental footprint and embedding responsible practices across their operations.

You will learn how to build a sustainability strategy, addressing challenges across areas such as waste management, recycling, and sustainable supply chains. Topics also include corporate social responsibility, the impact of business on local communities, governance, and climate change, giving you a 360-degree view of what it means to lead responsibly.

This degree is part of APIIT's suite of BSc Business Management programmes, which share core modules. Complementary pathways include the broader BSc (Hons) Business Management and specialisations in Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Human Resource Management.

The BSc (Hons) Business Management (Sustainability) is awarded by the University of Staffordshire, UK, and can be completed as a three-year full-time degree or a two-year accelerated programme.
