Dear All,

I am looking for a career change and am fascinated by the world of CSR/Sustainability. I am contemplating therefore to study part time for post grad qualification (I have a BSc in Geography from Swansea Uni).

I am London based and interested in either part time or distance learning, but would be interested to hear people's opinions about CSR related courses and if any Unis/institutions are leading the field in terms of post grad courses. Are post grads certs and diplomas dismissed by employers in preference for masters? I am looking at both the time and cost implications of a two year p/t course compared to a shorter Post Grad certificate or diploma course.

This is a whole new world to me, and would appreciate any advice and guidance that anyone can share. Are there any opportunities for government grants or am I living in the past? It seems unfortunately that my employers will not provide any sponsorship.

Thanks in advance.:-)
