Bachelor of Environmental Management and Sustainability Technology (BEMST) offers both TVET courses and business management within one program. Malaysia has made a commitment to transition towards a low-carbon economy and attain carbon neutrality by the year 2050. There is a pressing need for to expedite implementation of green initiatives, which will ultimately contribute to the needs of environmental professionals in overseeing and managing operations conducted by both public and private sectors. Bursa Malaysia’s decision to make Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) Reporting mandatory for publicly traded companies has increased employers’ interest in recruiting graduates who possess not only technical proficiency but also demonstrate adeptness in efficiently and effectively managing business operations. ESG is one of the courses offered in this program with embedded professional certificate.

BEMST is a collaboration between UniKL Malaysian Institute of Chemical and Bioengineering Technology (MICET) with UniKL Business School (UBIS). BEMST is accredited by Malaysia Board of Technologies (MBOT), allowing our graduates to apply for Professional Technologist designation with the prefix “Ts” in front of their name. The program will run in both UniKL campuses: 2 years in UniKL MICET and another year at UniKL UBIS. Additionally, 30% subjects taught during the 3rd year are eligible for credit transfer to Master of Business Administration (MBA) at UniKL UBIS. This will provide an excellent platform for BEMST graduates to complete their undergraduate and postgraduate degrees within four and half years.

BEMST has been developed through a cross-disciplinary approach drawing on expertise from both campuses and practitioners within business, commerce and industry. Other than ESG, the programme also embedded Professional Certificates Lead Auditor for Integrated Management System ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 and Course on Certified Environmental Professional in Scheduled Waste Management-CePSWAM.
