You want to make this world a better place?
Sustainability and innovation are at the heart of the Master’s in Sustainability Studies!
You will take a comprehensive look at the topic of sustainable development and acquire the relevant tools and knowledge to tackle innovation and change processes in companies. We offer you the right mix of autonomy and structure as well as plenty of practical experience. Sounds challenging and exciting at the same time? Exactly!
A degree course that suits your taste!
This degree course allows you to finally get to grips with the subject you are passionate about in your project work and create something meaningful! You can specialize in different subject areas, depending on what knowledge is relevant for your project work. To do this, you can choose from a wide range of electives.
By the way: you can enrol for both the winter and summer semester.
Become a sustainability professional in three semesters
- In semester 1, you will deal with important content relating to the field of sustainability and at the same time you can deepen your knowledge in an area that matches your project topic. Onboarding is also an important part of the first semester.
- In semester 2, the focus is on project work, in which you will be supported by an accompanying module.
- In semester 3, you will then write your Master’s thesis and also take an accompanying module.
Studying closely related to practice and applied research?
The course offers you a close relationship with companies that are very interested in your ideas! So you have the chance to drive change directly in the company. And who knows, maybe the chemistry is right and you want to stay there after graduation?
At the same time, numerous research projects at our university offer the opportunity to gain experience in practical research work. So nothing stands in the way of a scientific career.
Do you need new inspiration, but also flexibility?
We make your Master’s degree possible, even if you are already working or doing care work. Independent of time and place – this is largely possible with us! We also offer part-time study – we will be happy to discuss all the options with you.
Nevertheless, contact with each other and ties to the two university locations are actively encouraged. You can expect an exciting professional exchange with your fellow students on a wide variety of topics!
Low costs and earn money on the side?
There are no tuition fees for this course at a state university (for EU citizens), only the mandatory semester fee of around 153 euros (summer 2024). You will be offered a quality-tested course of study at a high level.
It is also possible to earn money on the side with this course, as much of the content is offered independently of time and location.
This means you don’t necessarily
have to move – although the rental costs in the Sigmaringen and Zollernalbkreis districts are relatively attractive compared to the metropolitan areas.
