Sustainability masters UK. 6 assessed courses, 1,800 notional hours, tuition-free.
Online or on campus
Sustainability masters UK. MSc Sustainable Business at University of Brigant: 6 assessed courses, 180 credits and 1,800 notional learning hours, at 10 hours per credit. The hours on each course add up to that total. Seminars run online. An Edinburgh campus route is published separately from this online award. MSc Sustainable Business is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 180. Students move from The working week in Sustainable Business through The working week in Sustainable Business; Evidence in Sustainable Business; The system around Sustainable Business; Rules that bind Sustainable Business; A manager's brief in Sustainable Business; Capstone in Sustainable Business, and finish on Capstone in Sustainable Business. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students draw the system, name the constraint that binds it, and compare two responses. Reading is a system description, an indicator note, and a project option paper. The artefact a marker expects is a recommendation for one decision, with the evidence and the downside. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Produce a professional file in Sustainable Business Choose a method and write what the evidence cannot support Keep a record a third party can review Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course does not confer a professional engineering licence. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
Each credit is 10 notional learning hours. The courses add up to 180 credits and 1,800 hours.

| S1QQP01 | The working week in Sustainable Business The working week in Sustainable Business (S1QQP01) is a 30-credit course on MSc Sustainable Business, with 300 notional learning hours. By the end, students can draw the system, name the constraint that binds it, and compare two responses, using The working week in Sustainable Business as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a system description, an indicator note, and a project option paper. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a recommendation for one decision, with the evidence and the downside. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone. This course does not confer a professional engineering licence.
