Today, employers view competency in topics like diversity, equity, and inclusion, ethical leadership, and business solutions to environmental challenges as essential. For the Leeds undergraduate interested in the nexus of business and sustainability, the Social Responsibility and Ethics (SRE) Certificate is a program that blends curriculum and experiential learning.
Managed by the Center for Ethics and Social Responsibility (CESR), the SRE Certificate provides students with an in-demand perspective and skillset that prepares them for the future of work and a career with impact. This certificate is a career differentiator that pairs well with any area of emphasis.
Students pursuing the SRE certificate acquire the following skills while at Leeds:
SRE graduates have overwhelmingly indicated that the certificate helped them identify an employer whose company culture and mission aligned with their own values, and a third of our graduates directly credited the program with playing a critical role in securing their job offer.
CESR is piloting a new program during the 2024-2025 academic year called, Sustainability Scholars, which provides funding to SRE students to pursue transformative educational opportunities in sustainability and social impact. To learn more about the program, please read the guidelines here. We are accepting applications until September 16th.
