You’ll understand the role of accounting and finance in meeting the key challenges surrounding sustainability development goals, climate finance, environmental reporting and corporate governance. You’ll be prepared for rewarding and socially beneficial employment in sustainability-related accounting and finance roles.

As a graduate, you can pursue careers in a wide range of sectors. This could include roles in local and national government, NGOs, global organisations, business and industry, such as:

• ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) analyst, or transparency and ESG reporting manage
• sustainability reporting manager

This degree can also be helpful to get into research roles in climate finance or early career roles in sustainability management.
