- Sustainable Development - Diploma
The Diploma in Sustainable Development considers the concept of sustainable development as an economic growth opportunity. The Diploma is designed for candidates who desire to make a contribution to the emerging field of sustainable development. The Diploma is directed at providing the student with a multi-disciplinary background in areas such as innovation and entrepreneurship, sustainable technologies, social and environmental policy. It aims at preparing students for careers in the green industry with the capacity necessary to lead sustainable development in Egypt and the Middle East. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the course work combines a conceptual review of the relationships between business, industry, environment, policy, and society, with a much more applied examination of the wide range of initiatives that relate to environmental management and sustainable economic development.
