Location of University of Surrey
We offer the following MSc programmes in the field of environmental strategy:
* MSc Environmental Strategy
* MSc Sustainable Development
* MSc Corporate Environmental Management
The three programmes are housed in the Centre for Environmental Strategy (CES), which is a leading centre for environmental and sustainability-related research and postgraduate teaching in the UK. CES is based within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and accommodates a wide range of disciplines dedicated to resolving environmental problems. Given the multi-disciplinary nature of the programme, students on these programmes are drawn from a wide range of academic backgrounds.
The programmes are unique in the UK and the EU for preparing a new generation of environmental professionals who are able to implement ISO14001, undertake sustainability life cycle and environmental risk assessments, and introduce corporate social responsibility programmes into organisations. You will be challenged to think systematically and creatively, and to act pragmatically.
Graduates have progressed to careers in environmental consultancies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and national and local government departments. Some have continued their association with the Centre as doctoral students.
CES programmes are designed to be multidisciplinary, involving the application of a wide range of natural and social sciences to problems of resource use and environmental management. They are organised and delivered by the Centre’s own staff and leading experts from industry, public agencies and our academic partners. Many of the case studies and lecturers are drawn from over 60 organisations that have sponsored our research for more than ten years.
Contents
This programme provides both a theoretical and practical grounding for evaluating technical, social, economic and organisational elements of environmental problems.

Accreditation
The University of Surrey School of Management is unique as the only business school in the world to hold simultaneous accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). MBA and Tourism students can be assured of the quality of their programme and the School as recognized by these awards.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is an international body which assesses business schools on the quality of their programmes and operational management. AACSB International accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools, worldwide.
Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review.
AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education. AACSB International accreditation assures stakeholders that business schools:
* Manage resources to achieve a vibrant and relevant mission.
* Advance business and management knowledge through faculty scholarship.
* Provide high-calibre teaching of quality and current curricula.
* Cultivate meaningful interaction between students and a qualified faculty.
* Produce graduates who have achieved specified learning goals.
An AACSB accredited business school gives an assurance that it is amongst the best in the world.
The Association of MBAs (AMBA) accreditation is widely recognised as the global standard for MBA programmes. The association has acted as an advocate for MBA programmes around the world since 1967 and assesses business schools and their post-experience management programmes against rigorous criteria. These criteria include:
* The institution offering an MBA should have a clear strategy and mission, explicitly expressed and regularly updated. It will have a clear understanding of the market for its products.
* Staff should be credible in terms of their academic qualifications, their ability to teach business at postgraduate level, the quality of their research and the extent of their business contacts and consultancy activities.
* As the MBA is a post-experience, postgraduate degree, students admitted onto an accredited MBA must have a minimum of three years work experience, with the cohort averaging 5 years experience.
* The curriculum should be generalist in nature and must cover the core business skills: marketing, the economic and legal environment of a business, accounting and quantitative methods, finance, organisational theory, interpersonal skills, information technology, and the processes and practices of management.
The School of Management has a long association with the tourism industry and a worldwide reputation for excellence in tourism education. It was the first institution in the UK to receive UNWTO TedQual certification for both its undergraduate and postgraduate tourism programmes.
The UNWTO TedQual certification system contributes to the quality and efficiency of tourism education training and research. It proposes a methodology and voluntary standards with universal scope to more clearly define the quality of tourism education systems. The UNWTO TedQual certification system is a quality assurance system for tourism education, training and research. The specific aims of the UNWTO TedQual certification system are:
* Establish a quality standard for tourism education and training systems.
* Smooth the way towards greater pedagogic productivity in tourism.
