Finance (Sustainable Finance)

About this course

Sustainable finance has emerged as one of the most consequential areas of modern financial practice. It refers to the integration of environmental, social, and governance considerations into financial decision-making, from how capital markets price climate risk to how institutional investors allocate assets in line with net-zero commitments. The field brings together financial theory, economics, and a rigorous understanding of sustainability, asking how the financial system can be reshaped to support long-term value rather than short-term returns alone. The University of Reading's three-year full-time Finance (Sustainable Finance) programme positions you at this intersection. You will build a strong foundation in finance, covering investment theory, corporate finance, risk management, and financial markets, while developing specialised knowledge in sustainable finance topics such as ESG
