Curriculum
1st Semester
During the introductory week, you dive into the world of the circular economy. Visit leading companies and projects. And gain insights into the societal, political, and economic background of sustainability.
Next, you explore the 6 capitals of sustainability: financial capital, manufacturing capital, human capital, social and relationship capital, intellectual capital, and natural capital.
You also attend courses and workshops on research, leadership, and skills. And you work with a fellow student on a practical research problem for an international company or organization. Your first step is to analyze the organization in question.
Portfolio
At the end of the 1st semester, you submit a portfolio with 3 products: integral analysis, interview reports, and priorities. You’ll present these products during an assessment and submit a reflection portfolio. You’ll be assessed on both portfolio presentations and a theory exam.
2nd Semester
In the 2nd semester, you focus on creating a design that solves the problem of your company or organization.
