Program Overview

Introduction to the Master of Science in Sustainability Management

The Master of Science in Sustainability Management is a comprehensive program designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and expertise necessary to address the complex challenges of sustainability in the modern world. This program combines theoretical foundations with practical applications, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to make a positive impact in their chosen careers.

Program Overview

• The program is delivered in a face-to-face format, combining traditional teaching methodologies with active and autonomous learning methods.
• It includes case studies, role-playing, problem-solving, and presentations by students, among other activities.
• Theoretical foundations are complemented by practical applications, allowing students to develop a deep understanding of sustainability management.

Methodology

The program's methodology is diverse and inclusive, featuring:

• Traditional methodologies, with magisterial classes based on expert explanations.
• Active methodologies, including case studies, role-playing, problem-solving, and student presentations.
• Autonomous methodologies, where students engage in self-directed learning through readings and individual or group work.

Practical Case Study

In addition to theoretical training, students learn from practical cases of real organizations. Through cases with a practical and applied focus, students can put into practice the skills they have acquired.

Class Discussions and Group Activities

Through simulations, group dynamics, class presentations, and interactive activities, the learning process is enhanced, providing valuable knowledge.

Tutoring and Follow-Up

Throughout the program, students have access to academic direction team follow-up, providing support, ensuring correct evolution in skill development, and offering help whenever needed.

Masterclasses with Experts

Each edition features professionals from various sectors sharing their experience and knowledge in different areas of sustainability. This allows students to learn firsthand about real cases and challenges faced by experts in the field.

Visits to Companies and Institutions

Students discover organizations from different sectors and learn about their strategies related to sustainability and ecological transition. Additionally, these visits provide networking opportunities, opening doors for future professional development.

Evaluation

To obtain the corresponding degree, it is essential to pass all subjects, whose evaluation will depend on the corresponding professor. This can include continuous assessment, the completion of a work, exercise, or final exam. Students must also pass the Master's Final Project (TFM), which involves its elaboration and defense before a panel of experts.

• Regular attendance in class and the completion of practical exercises and mandatory work are part of the evaluation system.
• The conditions for delivery and elaboration are set by the teachers who assign them.
• All evaluation activities are related to follow a project logic.

Tools

Project-oriented learning and the combination of magisterial classes with active methodologies such as case studies, flipped learning, real problem-solving, and professional simulations allow connecting theory and practice, acquiring advanced competencies, and achieving transferable learning to the workplace.

Students have access to:

• A Final Master's Project (TFM) or Postgraduate Project (TFP) to learn by doing.
• A personal mentor for the follow-up of the final project (TFM or TFP).
• Digital resources to achieve transversal competencies.
• Interdisciplinary activities and workshops.

This comprehensive approach ensures that graduates of the Master of Science in Sustainability Management are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and network necessary to succeed in their careers and contribute positively to the sustainability challenges of the 21st century.
