Improving the world or business studies? You can do both!
It is clear that our way of doing business cannot continue. Melting polar ice caps, species extinction and polluted oceans are global threats that the world's governments have so far been unable to get under control. Recent youth studies clearly show that young people see environmental protection as one of the most urgent problems of our time. Globally active companies are now also recognizing the need for action, not least here in the metropolitan region. From DAX-listed corporations to medium-sized companies, sustainability is the order of the day.
The degree programs in Business Administration with a focus on Sustainability Management combine economic know-how with the skills that companies need to assume their ecological and social responsibility.
