One Planet MBA

Entry requirements

We seek ambitious leaders with a proven track record. You must have a minimum of three years' managerial experience (managing people and/or substantive projects). While a GMAT score is welcome, we prioritise demonstrated work experience and career progression.

We require an IELTS score of 7.0 or higher (or equivalent) unless your 1st degree was taught in English language

Months of entry

September

Course content

The global economy is fundamentally changing. The One Planet MBA is the definitive programme for leaders who refuse to manage yesterday’s business models.

Designed from the ground up to embed sustainability, climate literacy, and ethical practice, this is a transformative 12-month journey that equips you to deliver commercial success while creating regenerative outcomes for the planet.

This is not a traditional MBA with a sustainability module; it is a business master’s degree for environmentally responsible leaders.

Information for international students

For those students that don’t yet meet our entry criteria of IELTS 7.0, you may wish to attend one of our INTO Pre-sessional English programmes.
