Program description
Nowadays, businesses place a high priority on sustainability, which they may use to develop and maintain a long-term competitive edge. To drive the shift to (more) sustainable business models, however, organizations require fresh leadership that can innovate both the organization as a whole and their strategy.
Through a combination of organizational, technological, entrepreneurial, and strategic thinking, our students will gain management skills for sustainability projects.
Using a practice-oriented and action-learning approach, the International Master in Sustainability Management and Corporate Social Responsibility will benefit from extensive faculty with a wide range of complementary competencies as well as close ties to companies where students can share their field experience.
