What you will learn
As humans, we are still heavily dependent on natural resources for our activities, work and survival. However, their massive use leads to exhaustion and has irreversible negative consequences for our climate and the well-being of our planet. To avoid disastrous consequences for our society, we must focus on a more sustainable future by drastically reducing our need for natural resources and moving towards a circular economy.
Our innovative approach that pays off
As more and more organizations worldwide (companies, NGOs, governments) focus on a transition to a sustainable future, there is a greater need for researchers, innovators and experts who can shape and drive the transition to a circular economy. In the Dutch labor market alone, the demand for sustainability professionals has doubled in recent years and is expected to increase significantly in the coming years.
In our rapidly changing world, sustainability is a necessity, not an option. We must embrace a holistic approach that considers the environment and diverse values. Our Applied Master in Sustainability Management prepares future leaders with the skills to implement sustainable practices, driving business success while promoting environmental stewardship and social equity.
