MBA Sustainability Management

About the Programme

Lead the Transition to a Greener, Smarter Economy

The MBA in Sustainability Management is designed for aspiring leaders who want to drive meaningful change while accelerating business success. This transformative programme empowers students to master cutting-edge business strategies through the lens of environmental stewardship, ethical leadership, and sustainable innovation.

Rather than treating sustainability as an add-on, this MBA embeds it into every core business discipline, from finance and accounting to operations, strategy, and leadership. Students learn how to align profitability with purpose, leveraging sustainability as a competitive advantage.

Through immersive, real-world projects and collaboration with industry partners across diverse sectors, participants gain hands-on experience in designing and implementing responsible business solutions. Graduates emerge as agile strategists and sustainability change-makers, equipped to lead confidently in roles across multinationals, start-ups, NGOs, energy and manufacturing firms, government agencies, and impact-driven ventures.

This programme champions the principles of the triple bottom line: business success, environmental integrity, and social justice— ensuring students are not just ready for the job market, but ready to reshape it

Entry Requirements for Degreed Applicants
Applicants under this category should have:
i. A Bachelor’s degree or equivalent from a university or college acceptable to the University of the West Indies, with at least a GPA of 2.5.

  • Students are expected to have a good grounding in a business
    subject such as management, finance, economics, marketing or a
    sustainability-related subject.

ii. Three (3) years post degree work experience.

Entry Requirements for Pass-Degreed Applicants

Students with pass degrees will be considered on the following conditions:
i. they are currently working in a business, management, or sustainability related field, and
ii. they are successful at an interview conducted by the entrance committee within the School.

Entry Requirements for Non-Degreed Applicants
The SCHSB is considering opening its doors to a restricted number of individuals without degrees, who are working in the private sector and have a desire to obtain advanced training in Sustainability Management. It is expected that the number of students entering the programme through this route would be highly restricted and
should represent no more than 25 percent of the cohort in any given year. Students entering through this route will be required to undertake a preliminary year of study. The entry criteria for these students would therefore be:
i. Technical certificates or diplomas that can be assessed by The University of the West Indies.
ii. Five years’ experience in a business, management or sustainability-related field at a Supervisory or higher level.
iii. They are successful at an interview conducted by a selected panel
determined by the Campus Committee of Graduate Studies and the
SCHSBM.
