Taught entirely in English on Campus Flemingsberg, this programme leads to a Master of Science (120 ECTS) with a major in Business Administration.

Combining rigorous business administration theory with applied interdisciplinary perspectives, the curriculum focuses on sustainable business models, ethical leadership, institutional change management, circular economy strategies, and stakeholder engagement. Students analyze real-world case studies, evaluate global sustainability frameworks (such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals), and engage with contemporary governance practices. The programme culminates in the final semester with an independent Master’s Thesis (30 ECTS), offering students an opportunity to execute empirical research on cutting-edge sustainability challenges within corporations, public sector bodies, or non-governmental organizations.
