Sustainable Development Management, MA

With the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), or the 2030 Agenda, the United Nations General Assembly sent out a strong signal for a new global community: Developing countries, emerging industrialised countries and industrialised countries together agreed to 17 ambitious goals for a better, more sustainable future for all countries. Achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda will require highly qualified experts with a broad understanding of not only the field of sustainable development but also the challenges and hurdles of bringing sustainability projects to fruition. Sustainable Development Management MA integrates and connects relevant various sections of economics and political science with the most relevance for sustainable development. These components are then supplemented with empirical methods and project management skills. This unique combination gives you the qualifications needed to help shape not only academic discourse on sustainable development but also ongoing and future projects in the field. Courses are aligned with the typical project cycle, meaning you will learn how to successfully plan and implement sustainable development projects as well as critically evaluate the results.
