About this program
MSc Sustainability Engineering and Management
An urgent need for rapid change within many technical fields has increased the demand for new management strategies. This program will provide you with the ability to lead production, engineering and society in a sustainable direction.
Our current exploitation of natural resources has severe environmental implications, such as the emission of hazardous substances and resource scarcity. This program teaches you how to combine an interdisciplinary systems perspective with skills in modern environmental and energy engineering. This holistic and proactive approach is essential to limit, prevent and solve environmental problems.
