Annotation

The need for sustainability and future skills in companies is great and continues to grow. This is where the three-semester interdisciplinary Master's degree programme "Sustainability Studies" comes in: Major study achievements are project-based. The project work in the 2nd semester and the Master's thesis in the 3rd semester are preferably carried out with a company or in an organisation. The focus here is on challenges in companies relating to sustainability issues. Prior to this, technical foundations are laid in the first semester, above all with regard to sustainable approaches and the required specialist knowledge. Specialisations can be selected across faculties depending on the project focus. The degree programme allows for individual part-time study and can largely be studied in English. Much of the course content can be accessed regardless of time and location. Contact on site is scheduled at fixed dates to ensure a personal and professional exchange.
