Course Description

Harness your passion for Business Studies and apply it to answering the pressing questions of our time by studying the subject in combination with Global Sustainable Development (GSD).

Today, economic growth and business expansion must answer to critical concerns about environmental sustainability, biodiversity loss, and human exploitation. On this degree you will grapple with these debates and reconcile them with your Business Studies modules.

You will be challenged to consider current problems of sustainability from different perspectives, understand their complexity and use a variety of approaches to think creatively about potential solutions.

The holistic approach taken with GSD will complement and challenge your studies within Warwick Business School (WBS), which has a worldwide reputation for its expertise in Business and Management.

You can enhance your skills and studies through optional work placements, study abroad, and certificates.
