The Master in Corporate Sustainability lasts one year and is taught online. Its curriculum delves into the environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) dimension of the transition to a green economy . On the financial side, it also addresses banking regulation and supervision regarding sustainability .

You will learn with an innovative teaching method, using real case studies and practical experience.
Along with the official syllabus, the Master in Corporate Sustainability also provides access to a management skills course, an executive orientation course and an English course.
