About this program

The Master of Science in Sustainable Business Development equips students with skills to develop and implement sustainable business models that are economically successful and support positive contributions to the environment and society. Students work in international teams and combine knowledge from sustainability, business management, and digitalisation, then apply it directly in practice.

The programme is a triple degree and includes study in Switzerland, Germany, and France, leading to three recognised Master’s degrees. Learning takes place onsite and uses three languages of instruction: German, French, and English. Over half of the programme consists of concrete projects with partners from business, NGOs, and the public sector.
