Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL)

Our Master of Studies in Sustainability Leadership is a Research Degree Programme which requires candidates to undertake a research dissertation on an area of relevance to sustainability leadership.

Master of Studies in Sustainability Leadership candidates are typically mid-career and senior professionals who are able to draw on their own experience and insights, gain access to case studies, and undertake research of ‘real world’ relevance. Their work is supervised by academics from across the University and, where appropriate, leading external experts.

We see great value in this research which covers a large range of topics, sectors and geographies. As this body of interdisciplinary research evolves, the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership is actively seeking opportunities to apply and/or publish the best work. 

A number of our students have prepared short articles based on their research. Some have been published on the University of Cambridge Research website.
