The study track is divided into three consecutive phases: the preparatory phase, flexible phase and capstone phase. During the first phase, you will be introduced to the main topics sustainability, social innovation and transdisciplinary research. Phase two, however, goes more into depth. You take modules from one of the three thematic sections ‘Water’, ‘Life and Health’ and ‘Food’. And last but certainly not least, during the last phase you’ll put your newly acquired knowledge to action by working on an authentic sustainability challenge together with fellow students, scientists and external business and society partners.
