Overview

The programme fills the increasing need for leaders of initiating and managing change processes, in both for-profit and not-for-profit organisations. It is designed to foster an entrepreneurial mindset toward sustainability and regeneration. As a graduate, you will be equipped to launch and manage initiatives supporting the decarbonization of operations or renewing existing practices to promote safe and just businesses within the limits of the planetary boundaries. The challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, clean water, renewable energy, global migration, and poverty and inequality are creating conditions that threaten the stability of the global economy and the planet’s health. As a graduate, you will be prepared to address these challenges, aligning initiatives with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. You could also create opportunities to engage in interdisciplinary networks, support purpose-driven organisations, or develop corporate cultures that prioritize the Inner Development Goals.

 

During your studies, you will interact with students from other cultures and be taught by an engaged and international faculty team. This programme includes course projects with organisations, case analysis, and study visits.

 

The programme provides a solid foundation so that you can start your enterprise or work towards a position in general management, as a business developer, project leader, or sustainability manager.
