Program Structure

The Management for Sustainability Transitions program is centered around several core modules where key concepts, frameworks, and positioning are examined.
Core modules are then complemented by experiential modules where the application, expansion and further consideration of concepts is the focus.
Over the course of the program lectures and class discussion, practical exercises, and workshops, as well as live business cases (i.e., activities carried out to address specific issues proposed by enterprises) help students put into practice what is learned.
Additionally, themed workshops exploring topics such as future thinking & scenario building, nexus thinking, the dark side of sustainability, nature inspired innovation (biomimicry), design thinking, and more will be intermingled amongst the courses throughout the year.
