This elearning course is designed to give you the theoretical and practical skills needed to develop, implement and manage a resource strategy for a public or private-sector organisation. Organisations are under increasing pressure to revolutionise business efficiency and the use of sustainable technologies through effective environmental management. This Environmental Management Masters was developed by Nottingham Trent University in collaboration with Loreus Ltd, an experienced environmental training and Consultancy Company. This joint venture will ensure that the course delivers leading edge theoretical content underpinned by practical consultancy experience. This course is ideal if you: require a predominantly distance learning course to reduce the amount of time away from work - you can replace the seven-day residential module with the Research Methods module to complete the course entirely by distance learning; are working in an organisation and want a master's level qualification to give you a competitive edge; are a recently qualified undergraduate and are looking for the professional skills needed to obtain a job in resource management; require the skills and experience needed to manage resource use in your organisation and improve its environmental performance. Although you will study much of the course by distance learning, it is important that you feel part of a coherent group and that you meet others on the course as well as your academic and commercial tutors. This is one of the reasons why the practical resource management module will be delivered as a seven-day intensive residential course. This method of delivery has also been chosen because it is the most efficient use of time for those in work or studying abroad. Students taking this course will definitely have the competitive edge due to the commercial relevance of this course, much of which has been devised in consultation with industry. The Practical Resource Management module has been designed to encourage you to apply your theoretical knowledge to real-life situations, meaning you can hit the ground running in a practical environment. Recent graduates have found employment in a wide range of public and private sector organisations where they have worked to promote sustainable development initiatives, improve environmental performance and ensure compliance with environmental legislation.
