Lancaster University (UK) and National Chengchi University (NCCU, Taiwan) are proud to announce the launch of the Joint International Certificate Program in Sustainable Business, a pioneering global program equipping professionals with strategic foresight and analytical capabilities to lead organisations through complexity in the era of global transformation.

This landmark partnership combines Lancaster University’s world-leading excellence in management education with NCCU’s academic strength in innovation and sustainability, creating one of Asia’s most distinctive executive programs bridging the UK and Taiwan.

A New Benchmark for Global Sustainable Leadership

The Joint International Certificate in Sustainable Business integrates advanced systems thinking, system dynamics, ESG strategy (Environment, social and governance), and digital transformation frameworks to empower participants to lead organisational change toward sustainable growth.

Unlike traditional management courses, this program emphasises strategic foresight and real-world application. Participants will learn to build and interpret dynamic business models that capture the complexity of global environments, revealing how decisions create cascading effects across economic, social, and cultural ecosystems. Through this integrative approach, participants will develop the capability to simulate future scenarios, anticipate uncertainties, and design resilient strategies that drive sustainable value across industries and regions.

The program’s hybrid structure blends international online learning with immersive on-campus seminars in NCCU, offering a flexible yet intensive educational experience designed for professionals navigating global landscapes.

Global Recognition and Dual Certification

Participants who successfully complete the program will receive a Certificate issued by Lancaster University and National Chengchi University, signifying a dual recognition of academic excellence and professional achievement.

As both institutions hold international accreditations and are recognised for their leadership in business education and sustainability research, this collaboration offers a globally respected credential that stands out among international executive programs.

Empowering Future Leaders Across Borders

Targeted at mid- to senior-level managers, entrepreneurs, and professionals engaged in ESG, innovation, and transformation, the program seeks to bridge academic rigor with practical leadership impact. Participants will join a select cohort of global professionals, building meaningful cross-border networks while developing actionable solutions to sustainability challenges facing today’s enterprises.
