Study options

The MSc in Sustainability, Entrepreneurship and Design (with Professional Development) is an 18-month programme – 12 months for the study at Brunel followed by a six-month professional development phase. There is an option to complete the MSc in Sustainability, Entrepreneurship and Design in 12 months (without the professional development phase) but students will be encouraged to engage with the professional development phase to achieve the maximum from the programme. The results of unsustainable human development in the 21st century are evident as climate change, species extinction, pollution, poverty and inequality become inescapable global realities. The next big challenge for society is to transform our economy to incorporate the principles of sustainability. This presents an exciting opportunity to rethink, redesign and rebuild a positive future for business practice. The course is jointly run between the College of Health and Life Sciences, the School of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences, and Brunel Business School. Aims: This programme will equip entrepreneurial minded graduates with two essential ingredients: firstly, the mindset and ability to play a key role in building a sustainable world – one that is not only prosperous, but also environmentally stable and socially inclusive; secondly, hands-on experience, such that they can become entrepreneurs, business leaders, change-makers and innovators. Upon graduating, students will be able to become key figures in local, regional, national or global businesses; holistic thinkers and visionary leaders in their communities, corporations, businesses, non-profit organizations and government agencies. They will be encouraged to infuse environmental awareness into societies and make tangible contributions to the theory and practice of environmental protection, sustainable business and a circular (green) economy. Graduates from the MSc course will expect to: Start their own green businesses as entrepreneurs and/or designer/innovators; Become change-makers and leaders in existing businesses moving towards sustainability; Join corporate institutions and public bodies (eg local and regional government, NGOs) as senior sustainability and environmental coordinators/managers; Become advisers on sustainable business and policy, sustainable new product development and investment/funding within existing companies, or as consultants in new business ventures. The latter will include new 'green' product and service enterprises and sustainability service providers.

About

Brunel University London, founded in 1966, is an internationally-recognised university located in Uxbridge, London. Named in honour of the great Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Brunel is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary.
The university is organised into three colleges – Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences; Business, Arts and Social Sciences; and Health and Life Sciences – as well as three major research institutes – Energy Futures and Environment; Health and Societies; and Materials and Manufacturing.
Due to its campus-based nature, students of Brunel are never more than a ten-minute walk away from facilities such as halls of residence, social and sports facilities, lecture theatres, or the library. In addition, its close proximity to London makes it an ideal place for students who wish to experience the capital's many social and cultural attractions.
Furthermore, Brunel is a proud member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the European University Association, and Universities UK. In addition, the university offers access to specialist laboratories such as those for electronic imaging, bioprocessing and experimental techniques, flight, driving and train simulators, and a 3D body scanner.
Many undergraduate students also have the option to take a practical placement or project as part of their courses in the form of a sandwich year. On top of that, Brunel's Department of Design hold an annual design exhibition known as 'Made In Brunel', which is designed to showcase the work of final year students to the wider design industry.
