A curriculum built around climate science, planet-centric innovation, and green technology
As the need for sustainability grows, awareness alone is no longer enough. This Impact MSc strengthens your ability to think systemically, lead consciously, and act with integrity. You learn to design solutions that create lasting value for ecosystems, organizations, and society without outsourcing responsibility or compromising long-term impact.
- Understand Climate Science Foundations
Build a solid grounding in environmental science, climate systems, and nature-based solutions as a basis for informed decision-making. - Apply Planet-Centric Innovation
Practice planet-centric thinking, biomimicry, and systems design to develop regenerative solutions that work with, not against, natural systems. - Design Clean Energy & Green Technology Solutions
Explore renewable energy, green mobility, and green AI applications with a focus on scalability, responsibility, and real-world impact. - Lead Science-Based Sustainability Management
You’re ready to take responsibility for your next chapter and transition into roles focused on climate solutions and environmental regeneration.
Requirements / Application
- Applicants for the 90 ECTS Master of Science (MSc) in Sustainability, Innovation & Technology must have an undergraduate degree with at least 210 ECTS or equivalent credit points, completed over a standard study period of at least six semesters
- Applicants for the 120 ECTS MSc in Sustainability, Innovation & Technology must have an undergraduate degree with at least 180 ECTS or equivalent credit points, completed over a standard study period of at least six semesters
- The undergraduate degree must be in a relevant subject area, such as:
- Business, economics, or sustainability-related fields (e.g., business administration, sustainable development, entrepreneurship, or management)
- Related fields such as environmental sciences, sustainability sociology, policy, technology, computer science, AI, data science, or humanities with a sustainability focus
- Applicants must demonstrate sufficient English language proficiency at a minimum B2 level according to the European Framework of Reference for Languages
- Motivation must be shown through the application form and will be further assessed during the admission process
- An admission interview is mandatory to evaluate eligibility and alignment with the program
A previous undergraduate university degree is required to apply. Although applicants without a degree but with vocational training and relevant professional experience may sometimes be eligible for special entrance exams, this does not apply to this program. Therefore, we cannot accept applications without a completed university degree.
Policy on ECTS Credits and Graduation Requirements
- To graduate with the MSc, learners must achieve a total of 300 ECTS by the end of the program.
- Learners with a 180 ECTS bachelor’s degree enrolling in the 120 ECTS MSc will meet the requirement naturally.
- Learners with a 210 ECTS bachelor’s degree enrolling in the 90 ECTS MSc will also meet the requirement.
- In rare cases, learners with a 180 ECTS bachelor’s degree seeking the 90 ECTS MSc may have 30 ECTS credited from professional experience to reach the required 300 ECTS. This is strongly discouraged in favor of the 120 ECTS program.
- Professional experience must be relevant to MSc subjects, involve at least two years of full-time work, and may include sustainability, innovation, or technology-related roles.
