ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Welcome to the Sustainability Leadership Governance Programme (SLGP) where you will find innovative solutions for sustainable futures. It is designed for individuals, who are keenly aware of the importance of sustainability in a multi-disciplinary environment and those who wish to make a difference, and contribute to the society and their professional field.
The Programme aims to equip students with the required understanding and skill set to address the sustainability-related challenges that organisations and society face now and in the future, locally as well as globally. Our students come from legal, engineering, finance, business management, NGO and public sector backgrounds and the SLGP supports them in leveraging their existing set of skills, be it science, finance, communications, community development and integrate sustainability knowledge into the organizations they work for through their functional and leadership roles.
The Programme focuses on building the capacity of actors in the public, business and social sectors to engage in dialogue and partnerships to develop blended value solutions to the challenges set out by the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Through cross-disciplinary approaches, the rigor of academic discourse, as well as leadership and communication skills development, students and graduates will be able to make leading contribution and lasting impact.
Candidates who aspire to develop a career, or to further enhance their expertise, in the fields of corporate responsibility, sustainability strategy, reporting, impact investing, value chain management and resource circularity will find this Programme particularly relevant.

FULL-TIME
PART-TIME
1-YEAR FULL-TIME PROGRAMME
The full-time mode offers students a faster route to acquiring a taught Masters in a field growing in demand. The most obvious difference between part-time and full-time student hours is the amount of credit hours they attend during a semester. Therefore, a full-time student spends more time in class during a semester than a part-time student. Full-time students will complete the 60 credits (including 4 compulsory courses (6 credits each) (a total of 24 credits), 4 or 5 elective courses (3 or 6 credits each) (a total of 24 credits) and a capstone (12 credits)) between 1st September in the year of enrolment and 30th June of the following year.
2-YEAR PART-TIME PROGRAMME
Part-time students will have more flexibility in their schedule and will spread the 60 credits (including 4 compulsory courses (6 credits each) (a total of 24 credits), 4 or 5 elective courses (3 or 6 credits each) (a total of 24 credits) and a capstone (12 credits)) over the 2-year period. The flexibility of the part-time programme allows the student to hold employment, contribute in the community, and manage family commitments during the day. Part-time and full-time students may attend some classes together to facilitate more interactions across student cohorts.
