Creative Sustainability is a 120 ECTS Master of Science programme in Economics and Business Administration. It brings business together with design, and materials and chemical engineering. In the business track, students build the skills and knowledge to promote sustainable development through business. The programme links business and sustainability for students who want to work on sustainability in business or in management roles in other fields.
The programme runs for two years and is taught in English through contact teaching. The degree is organised into compulsory joint Creative Sustainability studies, compulsory Management studies, elective studies, which may include a freely chosen minor subject, and a Master’s Thesis. Teaching combines classroom lessons, group assignments, and practical projects for partner organisations.
Creative Sustainability has three tracks, organised through separate intake processes in the School of Business, the School of Arts, Design and Architecture, and the School of Chemical Engineering. Students can choose courses from other parts of Aalto University or from other universities in Finland or abroad. The degree grants eligibility for doctoral studies.
