The programme in Sustainable Enterprise Development has been created to fill the increasing need among both for-profit and not-for-profit organisations, for leaders who can initiate and manage change processes.

The programme recruits students who are interested in the management of change and innovation, with a particular emphasis on environmental and social sustainability. It is designed to foster creativity and an entrepreneurial mind-set, so that as a graduate you are able to launch and manage new initiatives – or renew existing practices.

During your studies you will interact with students from other cultures and be taught by an engaged and international faculty team.

Elective semester

The fourth semester offers plenty of options to specify. Either by studying abroad at one of JIBS' recommended partner schools, or by taking elective courses of your choice at JIBS, which also allows you to do an internship in another country.

After graduation

After completing your studies you will be well prepared for work in the private, non-profit and public sector – and for post-graduate study. The programme provides a solid foundation for a position in general management, and in particular equips you for work as a project leader, business developer or sustainability manager.
