Gain an in-depth understanding of the impact of business on society and the relationships between business, social structures and government. 

Benefit from the way the program at York blends philosophical, historical, economical, geographical, sociological and political approaches to studying the relationship between business and society.

Unlike a traditional business school, this program is a critical, interdisciplinary program that equips you with practical, essential skills to give you a solid foundation for success in a range of career paths. 

You have the opportunity to specialize in either business ethics and corporate social responsibility; the environment; the firm and organization; the global economy; law and governance; or the social economy.

As a graduate, you can explore careers that include green business development, social investment, public policy, social enterprises, the non-profit sector, NGOs and social accounting.
