Businesses create social impacts by virtue of operating, but not all social impacts are intentional. In response, our curricula are designed to prepare leaders who can strategically guide organisations that are self-aware and serve stakeholders, not just shareholders.

For students and staff passionate about social impact, we offer additional courses and opportunities to dig deeper into social impact issues.
