Sustainability and Environmental Management

Sustainability requires people who can recognise interconnections, identify potential and manage change effectively. On the Sustainability and Environmental Management degree programme, you will learn to responsibly balance ecological, social and economic objectives. You will discover how companies develop sustainable strategies, make supply chains fairer, utilise environmental technologies and use life-cycle assessments to inform sound decision-making. You will also explore management as a driver of resource-efficient processes and innovations that generate new sustainable products and services. Alongside the fundamentals of business administration, you will delve into topics such as environmental law, international standards, climate-friendly production, and sustainable human resources and process management. Practical projects, data analysis and modern teaching methods prepare you to effectively embed sustainability within organisations. At the sustainable campus in Neuburg, you’ll learn in a personal atmosphere and a modern environment, whilst forging valuable contacts for your future. This degree programme will not only advance you professionally but also personally; it will shape your future and ours.
