Climate change, social inequality and environmental degradation are among the most important grand societal challenges of our time. Business is heavily impacted, but it is also uniquely positioned: it can invest in solutions, implement innovations and scale up enterprises, all while seeking the right partnerships with NGOs and governments. This master programme places you in the middle of this crucial endeavour, and further empowers you as a young professional that can positively impact the state of the world.
Along with other sustainability-minded students, and with educators from a range of disciplines you will investigate how to successfully embed sustainability into corporate strategy and operations. We will challenge you to use transformational paradigms and leading academic insights aimed at creating companies that are regenerative, circular, resilient and fit for the future. You will gain analytical skills to unlock complex social and environmental challenges, and create business solutions that address root causes of grand challenges and achieve net-positive success.
It can be difficult for organisations to do business without harming the environment or society at large. RSM stands for high-quality education which will challenge you from time to time, but you will also get rewarded for all your hard work. This master – which is not offered by many universities – gives you an advantage compared to other graduates because of the combination of knowledge and skills in business and sustainability. Future employers are really looking for people like this to help their company thrive and become resilient for the future.
