In 2016, the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation entered into a partnership with the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network Association (SDSN), headed by Professor Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University, which led to the establishment of the Jeffrey Sachs Center on Sustainable Development at Sunway University. The partnership, based on a steadfast commitment to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aims to develop the expertise needed to move Malaysia and Southeast Asia forward on the path of sustainable development.
In line with this, the Center launched its first Master’s programme on 8 October 2018. The Master in Sustainable Development Management at Sunway University was formulated to equip passionate, ambitious people from multidisciplinary backgrounds to become pioneers who will be adept at management and problem-solving using analytics and systems thinking guided by global concerns.
