Summary

As global challenges like climate change and social inequality demand urgent financial solutions, sustainable finance has emerged as essential to our economic future. Companies and investors worldwide are recognising that long-term financial success depends on integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into every decision.

What makes this course different?

Our MSc Sustainable Finance equips you with the skills to make financial decisions that address critical global challenges. You'll be prepared to meet the rapidly growing demand for professionals who can navigate this new financial landscape. The programme combines rigorous training in finance with economics-focused modules, and explores the growing political importance of global environmental issues through interdisciplinary collaboration with the School of Government.

Sustainable Finance and ESG Investing Module

Co-designed with students and employers to stay relevant and up-to-date, on this module you'll critically evaluate ESG investment strategies, assess corporate sustainability performance, analyse green finance regulations, and navigate emerging challenges like greenwashing.

Environmental Economics Module

Explore how economic theory meets environmental policy. From climate change and pollution impacts to regulatory design and green innovation, you'll apply cutting-edge theoretical and empirical methods to analyse complex environmental challenges. You'll master essential skills in cost-benefit analysis, causal inference, and non-market valuation that are critical for evidence-based environmental decision-making in both public policy and private sector roles.
