Innovation and sustainability
From the idea to sustainable success
The programme combines the three modules Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Management. It provides you with the skills and expertise to recognise market opportunities, implement business ideas and operate sustainably - in both established and newly founded companies. The programme is completed in three semesters and concludes with the internationally recognised Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS).
Innovation management
In the module innovation management module, you will learn how innovations can be systematically promoted and managed. You will learn what triggers and influences innovations in companies, what needs to be considered in co-operations and the special features of managing innovation processes.
Sustainability management
In the module sustainability management module is about making companies sustainable - ecologically, socially and economically. Principles such as efficiency, consistency and sufficiency are analysed, as are concepts such as the green economy, circular economy and post-growth economy. On this basis, you will develop practice-orientated solution strategies.
Entrepreneurship
The module Entrepreneurship module teaches you how and why companies are founded. It deals with the competitive advantages that new companies have over established companies, which decision-making aids and legal regulations are important for start-ups and what needs to be considered when financing with venture capital. The organisation of company succession is also discussed.
The programme is aimed at professionals who work in innovation and sustainability management or would like to enter these fields. It is also of interest to (prospective) entrepreneurs.
You can take the modules as certified further education or as part of the part-time Bachelor's degree programme in Business Administration. A single module leads to a Certificate of Advanced Studies, while a combination of three modules leads to a Diploma of Advanced Studies. The certificates are fully recognised for the Bachelor's degree programme. So you can start your studies without enrolment!
