Postgraduate Prospectus

This course is accredited by EQUIS

This course has a start date in September  

The MSc Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an innovative programme that emphasises the international influence and impact of corporations and their responsibilities. The course examines the social, ethical and environmental issues faced by both business and other kinds of organisations, providing students with a theoretically underpinned analytical perspective on CSR and enabling them to critically assess CSR issues, initiatives, drivers and responses.

The course takes an international, multi-sector and multi-disciplinary perspective. This is reflected in a typical MSc CSR cohort that is drawn from all corners of the globe, and includes students with a range of backgrounds and a variety of levels of experience. The programme is suitable for graduate students who have a first degree in management, business or other social sciences. The programme is also be suitable for more experienced individuals who are looking for a postgraduate qualification in CSR but are not looking for the more general management content associated with the MBA in CSR programme.

Since the MSc in CSR programme was established in 2004, we have welcomed 63 students from more than 29 different countries to study here. Our graduates have developed careers in the corporate sector, with business associations, in investor organisations, consultancies, research organisations, academia, government and in the third sector.

Over 12 months students will complete eight taught modules including five modules convened by the International Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility (ICCSR), two modules on research methods and an additional elective module.
