Location of The University of Edinburgh
In only a matter of a few short years, carbon management has moved from the periphery to the heart of big business. And in that same period, Scotland, and Edinburgh in particular, has emerged as one of the discipline's most important global centres.
Designed to create the next generation of carbon managers, auditors and expert advisors, this MSc is a high-level, intensive exploration of a subject crucial to the future of business and, of course, the planet itself. Very few business schools in the world have the same depth of expertise in carbon management.
In collaboration with the University's School of Geosciences, we can draw on the teaching and knowledge of some of the world's leading authorities in the subject, including lead authors from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), government advisors and industry specialists.
The MSc in Carbon Management will appeal to graduates with significant experience in business, perhaps in a related discipline such as economics, business, social sciences or physical sciences. By graduation, students will understand the key drivers behind the carbon economy, the financial imperatives and the regulatory framework in which it operates. This will provide students with the qualifications and expertise to secure positions, for example, in specialist consultancies, with financial analysts, as carbon managers in major organisations or in helping to set the agenda at governmental level.
