Sustainability Economics and Management

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

Man-made climate change and increasing environmental degradation are unmistakable: An economy that does not respect its natural limits is not sustainable. For this reason, the sustainable development of the economy and society is becoming increasingly important. A particular challenge here is the dovetailing of economic, legal and social science skills with engineering and scientific knowledge. The aim is to develop sustainable solutions. Master's students on the Sustainability Economics and Management degree programme acquire sound specialist knowledge of economics, supplemented by the perspective of being able to contribute to the sustainable change process in the economy and society. This requires the ability to link technical and scientific issues with various social systems (companies, politics, society) in order to develop solutions from a holistic perspective.
