The Student Finance service provides student loans to help pay for tuition fees and the cost of living, depending on your circumstances.
You'll be charged interest on your loan as soon as you take it out, but you only start repayments once you earn more than a certain amount - currently £21,000.
Repayments are based on how much you earn, not how much you've borrowed.
Course overview
We offer the world’s first and only Postgraduate Certificate focused on the Circular Economy.
This new economic model aims to:
Use resources and energy more effectively
Reuse products and materials
Deliver increased profit for organisations
As a student you’ll have a unique qualification and first-mover advantage, opening up a range of new career opportunities.
This Postgraduate Certificate sits as a separate award within the Innovation, Enterprise and Circular Economy distance-learning MBA programme. It is designed for those who wish to solely focus on Circular Economy without the additional MBA elements. You can however convert to the MBA at a later date, subject to the approval of the programme director.
The curriculum has been developed in partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. You’ll study topics including:
Regenerative product design
New business models
Reverse logistics
Materials, resources, energy and competitiveness
Operations, marketing and strategic management
The programme is studied part-time through distance-learning, using a combination of self-study, online teaching and group discussions. This flexibility means that you can fit your learning around your work and home commitments, and complete the programme at a pace to suit you in anything from 9 months to six years.
