Sustainability shapes how organizations operate today—across businesses, institutions and markets. It affects supply chains, regulation, investment decisions and everyday operations.
That’s why organizations need professionals who understand sustainability as a system, and who can work across functions and contexts. The MSc in Sustainability Management prepares you to work on real sustainability challenges, applying business thinking, data and strategy to situations that are already unfolding.
Be part of the shift to sustainability
This program prepares you to work on sustainability within real organizational contexts. You engage with current processes, products, services and strategies, understanding how sustainability is applied across operations, decisions and business models.
