Masters Programme Sustainable Management

Tuition comes to 114,000 SEK per year, and applications for the Apr 2027 intake close on Jan 15, 2027.

Immersed in the historic, Baltic setting of Visby on the island of Gotland, this programme invites you into a collaborative community at Campus Gotland where the boundary between student and researcher is intentionally blurred. Rather than traditional lectures, you will engage in debates, panels, and discussion forums designed to challenge conventional wisdom on how organisations can balance profitability with genuine sustainability.

A Global Network for Responsible Leadership

The curriculum is designed for those ready to tackle "wicked problems" in society, business, and non-profit sectors. You will join an international cohort and gain access to the active "United for Sustainability" alumni network, with former students currently driving change at organizations like IKEA, Oatly, PwC, and the Alberta Ecotrust Foundation. The programme emphasizes a critical and creative mindset, preparing you not just for management roles, but also for doctoral research if you wish to further your academic career.

By participating in the annual Sustainability Symposium, you will present your Master’s thesis to a public audience, cementing the transition from student to professional peer in a field that demands both bold thinking and deep, relational understanding.
