About the programme

Sustainability Management at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg is a part-time Master of Business Administration (MBA) worth 60 ECTS, taught completely in English and starting in the winter semester. It runs over three semesters, an 18-month qualification phase, in an online, blended-learning format that combines distance learning with in-person teaching, with places limited to about 25 students a year. Developed and run together with Siemens AG, it builds core business skills in finance, strategy, leadership, innovation and marketing, plus a specialisation in sustainable business practice. Content is organised in three competence clusters, Enabling, Managing and Transforming, each with three modules that look at management challenges using current findings from research and practice. It suits professionals who want to take on more responsibility in business, consulting or leadership and put sustainability into practice, for example in sustainability management, process and project management, or consulting.
