For you?

How do you solve the societal sustainability challenges of today and tomorrow? 
In this part-time master’s programme, you’ll work on projects from your own professional environment. This allows you to learn to work in an interdisciplinary way, think critically, and make meaningful changes in systems, processes, and decision-making.

Have you ever heard of ‘wicked problems’? These are the societal sustainability challenges we face today. They’re so complex that there is no single, clear-cut solution. You can’t solve them by viewing them from just one perspective. What’s needed is a multidisciplinary approach. In other words: zoom out first, then zoom in – and collaborate. That’s exactly what you’ll learn in our Master’s in Sustainability Transitions

In our Master’s in Sustainability Transitions, you’ll learn to think critically – to view issues through a range of expert lenses and from conflicting perspectives. You’ll consider the interests of various stakeholders, and of course, the influence of power on processes. It’s a challenge – because working across disciplines means accepting that no single person can see the full picture. That’s why we provide you with the tools to bring the right disciplines together and to tackle complex issues collaboratively. You’ll learn how to thrive in this complexity and how to make bold, effective decisions. 

 The content of this programme teaches you to look at the world differently in order to find meaningful solutions. You’ll ask questions such as: Where does the status quo fail to contribute to a healthy world? And how can we change this for the better? This is how we confront tough sustainability challenges – with courage, with care, and with leadership. 

 After completing this part-time Master’s in Sustainability Transitions, you’ll be part of the next generation of leaders tackling the immensely complex sustainability challenges of our time.
