Lead change that creates successful organisations that contribute to the sustainable development of society.

An education for change
This one-year Master’s programme in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability aims to educate leaders capable of supporting the sustainable development of society in a way that strengthens their own organisation. You study how you can contribute to sustainable development by enabling change in complex systems.

The programme is built around two themes – strategic sustainable development and leading in complexity. You study how to use scientifically founded methodology to contribute to sustainable development by enabling change in complex systems.

Strategic sustainable development
You immerse yourself in how to support a transition to global sustainability through economically beneficial development of products, systems, organisations and communities. You learn about challenges, opportunities and methodology for strategic sustainable development.

Leadership in complexity
You study how to manage complexity and effectively enable change. You explore the complexity and its issues within social change and in your own leadership. You learn methodology to be able to lead collaborations that provide an attractive and sustainable future.

The programme consists of 60 credits and leads to a Master’s degree.

To fulfil the programme requirements regarding work experience, you must attach an employer certificate (in Swedish or English). Please find a template certificate here.

Please contact Admissions Office with any questions regarding the entry requirements.
