Sustainable Business and Innovation is a two-year full-time Master’s programme in which you earn 120 EC in total.

The Sustainable Business and Innovation community on Brightspace presents a complete overview of the contents and organisation of the programme, in greater detail and depth than you’ll find on this website (from 2026-2027 this replaces the Study Guide).

Support

On your study progress review in OSIRIS you can see which course you have finished and which you still have to take. It also shows your options. Here you can also find your obtained study results, so you can see to what extend you meet the exam requirements to obtain your degree. As such it is a useful tool when you are designing your study programme. The Study Advisor is always available to give you advice on your study plan.
