A practical credential in sustainability disclosure — materiality, data collection, assurance readiness and the main reporting standards. Stackable toward the MSc Finance & Sustainability.
Université de Montelieu teaches this award to one academic standard whether you study on campus in Warsaw or on the tuition-free online pathway. Assessment is identity-checked; the marking scheme does not change with your postcode. This is an academic graduate certificate award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator.
You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides.
Graduate Certificate in ESG Reporting is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 9 months, and the credit total is 15. Students move from Climate Science & Systems for Managers through Climate Science & Systems for Managers; ESG Strategy, Materiality & Governance; Sustainable Finance, Impact & Transition Risk; Change Leadership for Net-Zero; Research Design for Sustainability, and finish on Research Design for Sustainability.
Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim.
The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Build a greenhouse-gas inventory and a credible transition plan Apply ESG disclosure standards and prepare for assurance Analyse transition and physical risk for a firm or a portfolio
Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass.
The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
The programme carries 15 credits across a single stackable block. Delivery is tuition-free (0) on the online pathway. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with Université de Montelieu awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.
