Key Summary
The Master of Science (MSc) in Green and Digital Management has been created in response to the challenges presented to modern organizations and the new generation of managers by two powerful global trends: green transition and digitalization. New challenges demand new perspectives and knowledge as well as enhanced managerial skills and competencies.
To combat climate change and environmental degradation, organizations need new, resource-efficient growth strategies aligned with sustainability principles. More and more companies globally are joining what has been termed as ‘decarbonizing megatrend.’ Policymakers in EU have set the goal to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050 – having adopted a comprehensive action plan for a just and inclusive transition to green economy. Read more on European Green Deal.
Digitalization is the use of digital technologies to change a business model and generate new revenue streams and value-creating opportunities. To recover from disruptions of traditional business models or to anticipate such disruptions, successful companies undergo a digital transformation. It is the process of moving to a digital business, leveraging digital information technology to entirely transform a business’ processes — evaluating and reimagining the way we do business. New technologies, digitalization of everything, and a green-economy approach change the business environment perspective and strategy. If a business wants to remain competitive in the market, delivering green products and services at the same time, they must change their management approach.
Our graduates will be equipped to move into digital management careers where they are able to bridge the gap between business people and technology people – pushing forward innovative practices that organisations need to employ to respond to current challenges, in particular environmental and sustainability challenges.
The program is nationally accredited by CYQAA and recognised by KYSATS.
