Major in Sustainable Business Development & Global Perspectives

During the Sustainable Business Development semester you learn how to successfully integrate ecological, social and economic objectives, and how sustainable business models can be developed as a result. The focus is on corporate responsibility towards society and stakeholders. You will engage in depth with current approaches such as corporate social responsibility (CSR), environmental social governance (ESG) and the circular economy, reflect on the role of technological progress in sustainable development, and learn how to embed sustainability strategically within corporate management. Key topics also include CSR communication, sustainability reporting and effective stakeholder management.

During the Global Perspectives semester you broaden your perspective on international markets, global power structures, and cultural diversity. You will analyse current challenges from economic, political, and societal viewpoints – ranging from international trade relations and geopolitical conflicts to intercultural aspects of international business. You will develop an understanding of the complex interconnections within the global economy, deepen your knowledge of international and intercultural management, and learn how to lead organisations confidently and successfully in a global context.
