Content Sustainability & Circular Economy, M.A.

Sustainable business models in practice

On the Sustainability Management Master's programme, you will learn how to successfully implement sustainable business models such as the circular economy, sharing economy or zero waste in practice.

We live in a time in which we are consuming our resources faster than they can be regenerated. The success of companies can therefore no longer be measured solely in terms of profit and growth. Instead, it is necessary to implement concepts such as the circular economy.

To this end, you will familiarise yourself with the corporate social responsibility of companies, deal intensively with sustainable business models such as the circular economy, consider the consumer's perspective in a sustainable context, set up reporting structures for sustainable projects and engage in an intensive exchange with our practice partners.

Of course, you will also be equipped with the necessary tools for your future career: project management, entrepreneurship and change management will be part of your future armoury to actively shape the future in a sustainable way.

Our range of study programmes in Management and Sustainability is very diverse. Let yourself be inspired.
