The world faces enormous sustainability challenges and must rely for an important part on innovative businesses to address these. To become a part of sustainable solutions, firms and markets need to transform, realising organisational renewal and sustainable value propositions, making effective use of data‐driven and smart innovations, and re‐aligning with partners in global and local value chains. In this master’s programme, you will acquire knowledge, skills and competencies from both business science and marketing, to become a manager, marketer or entrepreneur who can lead a sustainable business, contributing to a sustainable future.
This programme focuses on business and marketing processes and changes towards a sustainable future. The master’s programme has a multidisciplinary focus as business is related to food, environmental, and agricultural sciences.

The second year is filled with the master's thesis project and an internship with an external company or organisation, either in the Netherlands or abroad.

Apply advanced business theories to transform companies, value chains, and markets towards sustainability.
Evaluate how business strategies and decisions contribute to sustainable development.
