Sustainability Transitions

In this module, you’ll explore transitions, systems thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and research skills. 

You’ll get to know a range of theories and methods, helping to build a shared foundation of knowledge. This sets the stage for working together throughout the rest of the programme. 

Together with 3 or 4 fellow students and external stakeholders, you’ll work on a so-called wicked problem – a real-life transition challenge. 

How do you tackle a sustainability issue that has no clear owner and no obvious solution? That’s exactly what you’ll explore together. 

In this module, you'll focus on your own development in both knowledge and skills. This includes areas like systems thinking, regenerative leadership, and creating future scenarios. 

Together with your mentor, you’ll decide where to focus, based on your background and case study. You’ll then create a plan, including criteria for successful completion. 

In this module, you’ll learn about transitions, systems thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and research. You’ll become familiar with different theories and methods, helping to build a shared foundation of knowledge that will support teamwork throughout the rest of the programme. 

Together with 3 or 4 fellow students and external stakeholders, you’ll work on a real-life transition challenge – a wicked problem. How do you collaboratively solve a sustainability issue that has no clear owner and no obvious solution? 

In this module, you’ll work on a project based on your own work environment, from A to Z, including thorough methodological research. Of course, your project must align with the context of the sustainability transition. 

Strategic thinking is the focus of this module. You’ll be prepared to lead transformations in organisations and society. Through both theory and practice, you’ll learn how to strategically manage the co-creation process with various stakeholders. How do you organise such a process? How do you coordinate large groups of people? How do you identify opportunities for innovation and regeneration? By the end, you’ll have built your own personal toolbox for making real change in the world. 

This module immerses you in the principles and applications of leadership, with sustainability at its core. You’ll learn about the emotional and psychological aspects of working through global crises. As a leader, you need to be resilient, inspiring, and aware of both your own emotions and those of the people around you. We’ll provide you with tools and techniques to stay motivated and hopeful, even when facing major challenges.
