Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Corporate Social Responsibility (N1841)

The MBA Professional Masters in Corporate Social Responsibility at Aberystwyth Business School provides students with knowledge of the latest trends in environmental economics, environmental decision-making, sustainability and environmental management. It combines this with business-focused work around business finance, leadership and business economics as well as corporate governance and risk analysis. Candidates will complete a substantial CSR report at the end of their studies that is focused on providing value added improvements within their companies.

The Professional MBA programmes focus on developing and enhancing students' current academic and managerial skills. An important objective is to provide leading-edge analytical training in the latest strategic managerial and organisational developments in both the public and private sectors. Students will collect and analyse relevant information across a range of areas pertaining to given scenarios and situations, synthesise the information into a form appropriate for the evaluation of alternative solutions and subsequent decision-making, and engage with people from different cultural backgrounds in order to raise the level of organisational awareness and thinking. 

As a student on the Professional Masters programme, students will study the latest management theory and acknowledged best practice in areas such as leadership, operations, corporate governance and sustainability. The programme includes coverage of leadership and organisational behaviour. The study of financial analysis and decision-making emphasises the use of financial and accounting data to inform and improve strategic decisions and operations. The coverage of business economics provides the foundations for business decision-making across a range of functional areas. The programmes culminate in the completion of a capstone project, enabling students to apply the theories taught on the programme to their place of work to deliver high impact improvements in their businesses.
