Overview
Oxford Brookes was one of the first universities to embed responsible management in our business courses. Combining your study with geography, you’ll prepare to become a change maker, whether that’s within an organisation or working with businesses to help them make a difference.
We'll challenge you to make connections between environmental risks and business activity. In business modules, you’ll look at business problems and responsibilities through a sustainability lens. At the same time, you’ll explore the geographic and social impact of climate change.
From field trips to a placement year, you won’t be short of opportunities to boost your employability. You’ll find our graduates in a range of roles at multinational businesses, charities, governments, and more.
