Your Master's in Sustainability Management
In our Master's programme Sustainability Management, you learn how to critically and systematically deal with the constantly changing issues surrounding sustainability. You develop the ability to understand the connections between the economy, society and the environment in an entrepreneurial and professional context and you know how to come up with future-oriented strategies. By dealing with financial mechanisms and other sustainability-relevant regulations (a.o. ESG) during your studies, you understand their importance and learn to apply them in specific business situations.
You learn about digital innovations such as greentech, blockchain and frugal innovation and how to use them to develop sustainable business models - whether in customer relationships, supply chains or human resources. With your degree, you also acquire the communication skills to initiate and accompany change management processes in companies.
