MSc in Sustainable Accounting and Finance with placement in Uxbridge United Kingdom | Brunel University of London

This Master's program in Sustainable Accounting and Finance focuses on key areas where Accounting and Finance intersect with Climate Change: Accounting plays a crucial role in assessing and disclosing corporate financial performance and strategies, while Finance contributes by analyzing and valuing sustainability performance in financial markets. The program equips you to engage in impactful decision-making to address urgent Climate Change challenges.

The curriculum aligns with both the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (2015) and the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) – an initiative dedicated to reshaping management education by cultivating leaders committed to sustainable development. Additionally, the IPCC's Climate Change 2023 Synthesis Report urges policymakers to implement substantial emission reductions for a sustainable future. Our program supports these critical objectives by helping you grasp how companies measure and report sustainability, as well as how financial markets assess its value.
