Your course content

What you will learn

The Sustainability and Circular Economy Management Master enables you to successfully put sustainable business models such as circular economy, sharing economy or zero waste into practice.

We live in a time where we are using our natural resources faster than they can regenerate. In the future, the success of companies can therefore no longer be measured solely in terms of profit and growth. Rather, it is necessary to implement concepts such as the circular economy.

You will get to know the corporate social responsibility of companies, deal intensively with sustainable business models such as the circular economy, consider the perspective of the consumer in a sustainable context, set up reporting structures for sustainable projects and engage in 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 are part of your future tools to actively shape the future in the long term.

Your career prospects

Our innovative approach that pays off

Companies are in transition. They need academically well-trained employees who can actively support them in the transformation to a sustainable company. Company objectives and strategies change. Accordingly, business models have to be redesigned and implemented. Learned ways of thinking and attitudes have to be transformed.

This is your role! Whether as a sustainability manager, circular economy manager, consultant or project manager: sustainable corporate management and circular economy management are your terrain.

In your company you are a driver for sustainable management, a central contact person and projectmanager, head of a department or division or general manager.
