Introduction

Bachelor of Science in Sostenibilit is a Bachelor program taught at SUPSI - University of Applied Sciences Southern Switzerland, Switzerland. Intake: September. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

The Bachelor of Science in Sustainability and Systemic Transition is an interdisciplinary program that trains coordinators for sustainable transition. It combines teaching from the Department of Environment, Construction and Design and the Department of Business Economics, Health and Social Affairs at SUPSI, focusing on the analysis of environmental, social, and economic systems and the design of operational solutions that support individual and collective well-being.

The first two years cover theoretical and ethical foundations of sustainability and systems thinking, including how natural, economic, and social systems work, and techniques to analyze and monitor their evolution. From the second year, the program focuses on designing and managing sustainability measures for transition using concrete cases from partner organizations. In the third year, you can customize your studies through elective in-depth courses, complete an integrated three-month internship, and write a bachelor’s thesis.
