Use this opportunity: Bachelor's degree in sustainable management

Eisenstadt, 23th of April 2024 - 30 students from 15 countries have been studying on Austria's first Bachelor's degree programme in sustainable business since autumn. In addition to business administration content with a global focus, the curriculum includes a sustainability skills bundle that turns the students into highly sought-after specialists for companies. At the end of the first year of study, course director Josefine Kuhlmann is more convinced of this than ever: "The challenges that arise from globalisation, climate change and the associated changes in conditions for companies require business economists who can rethink and implement processes in companies."

Degree programme also attractive for high school graduates

However, prior knowledge of business administration is not required to enrol on the degree programme. This means that the degree programme is also open to high school graduates. The English-language, three-year bachelor's degree programme focuses strongly on personal development in addition to business administration courses.

The success of the concept is shown, among other things, by the very low dropout rate. Only two of the initial 32 students are no longer enrolled.

Current students are on average 25 years old and come from Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. They are united by a great thirst for knowledge, enthusiasm and a shared desire to make a difference. "The learning effect has also been enormous for us lecturers in recent months," says Kuhlmann and explains: "International challenges become more tangible when the Indian student or the student from South America talk about the reality of their personal lives. We all learn a lot from each other. "
