Welcome to the MSc. Applied Sustainability Management

This master’s programme is designed to let you become a driving force in the transformation towards a sustainable world and will equip you with the knowledge and competencies needed to foster sustainable innovation. During the programme you will learn to become an Applied Sustainability Manager: a highly qualified professional who can contribute added value to a company or institution beyond the boundaries of his own field of applied knowledge and has specialised and interdisciplinary knowledge of different industries including energy, water and logistics, agribusiness, food, fashion, health care, urban development and mobility.
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.
The program at Haarlem Campus takes a holistic approach to sustainability, recognizing that social, economic, and environmental considerations are all interconnected. Students will learn about the latest sustainability trends and practices, and explore the different ways that sustainability can be integrated into a wide range of industries and organizations.
