Global warming, rising sea levels and greenhouse gas emissions, species extinction, excessive consumption of important natural resources, poverty and growing economic inequality worldwide - these are all urgent challenges that the Sustainability Economics degree programme deals with. This degree programme focuses on future issues relating to the economy, environment and energy. Topics such as economic growth, globalisation, unemployment and energy supply are discussed from an economic perspective. Students are enabled to use economic methods to analyse aspects of sustainability and develop options for action for players in business and politics. This gives them first-class qualifications for starting a career in large companies, ministries and international organisations or for an in-depth academic examination of these issues in further degree programmes.
