Program Overview

# Master of Science in Applied Sustainability Management

Program Overview

The Master of Science in Applied Sustainability Management at SRH Haarlem is designed to equip you with the knowledge and competencies to become a driving force in transforming organisations toward a sustainable future. This interdisciplinary programme blends business, transformation management, and environmental sciences, using real-world case studies to develop practical, data-driven solutions for the circular economy. Whether you're a working professional looking to pivot your career or someone passionate about creating meaningful impact, this program prepares you to lead sustainable innovation across any industry.

Curriculum Structure

In your first semester, you'll build a strong foundation across multiple dimensions of sustainability. You'll start with Sustainability - The Basics, establishing the core principles and frameworks you'll apply throughout the program. Alongside this, Sustainable Business & Governance will teach you how to integrate sustainability into core operations and value chains, while Leadership for Impact develops the governance and decision-making skills essential for leading complex transformations. The semester also includes Psychological and Social Transformation, recognizing that sustainable change requires understanding human behaviour and organizational culture, plus Sustainable Entrepreneurship, which equips you to turn SDG challenges into viable, high-impact ventures.

Your second semester deepens your expertise in systemic change. Transformation of Ecosystems explores how businesses can operate within planetary boundaries, while Transformation in Organisation focuses on implementing change at scale within your own workplace. Throughout both semesters, you'll complete Case Studies Sustainability modules where you tackle real challenges in industries like energy, fashion, logistics, and urban development. By graduation, you won't just understand sustainability theory—you'll have practical evidence including business plans, data models, and change roadmaps to demonstrate to employers.

Focus Areas

The programme emphasizes three interconnected skill sets: technical skills grounded in sustainability science, managerial skills spanning leadership and entrepreneurship, and soft skills including interpersonal and reflective capabilities. The 5-week block structure means you apply each skill set immediately in live cases and mini-projects rather than studying theory alone.

Learning Outcomes

You'll graduate with the ability to plan, design, and implement innovative solutions that respond to business and societal needs. You'll be equipped to lead sustainability transformation across organisations, understand circular economy principles, and translate SDG ambitions into measurable impact.

Professional Alignment

The programme is NVAO-accredited, ensuring it meets rigorous standards for quality and relevance in higher education. It prepares you for impactful roles as a sustainability consultant, project manager, or sustainable business developer. The demand for these roles is rapidly growing—particularly in the Netherlands, where demand for sustainability experts has recently doubled.

Reputation & Employability

SRH Haarlem University of Applied Sciences demonstrates its commitment to sustainability not just in curriculum but in practice. The campus itself is housed in a repurposed former prison with geothermal heating systems and hybrid learning options, serving as a living example of circular innovation. This institutional commitment reflects the quality of education and real-world problem-solving mindset you'll develop.

Study Format Options

The programme is available full-time (12 months from September intake) or part-time, tailored for working professionals. The part-time option requires candidates to be from the EU/EEA or possess a valid work visa in the Netherlands.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

I appreciate your detailed request, but I need to be transparent about what the search results actually contain.

After reviewing the official SRH Haarlem sources provided, I cannot find a program specifically called "Business Innovation and Sustainability." The search results reference several bachelor programs launched in Fall 2022—Business Psychology, Creative Media (in business), and Digital Transformation Management—plus a Master of Science in Applied Sustainable Management launched in February 2024.

The closest match to your request would be the Master of Science in Applied Sustainable Management, which directly addresses sustainability. However, the search results provide limited specific details about this program's experiential learning components compared to the bachelor programs.

Here's what I can authentically tell you based on the available sources:

The university's educational philosophy emphasizes learning by doing across all programs. Students benefit from personalized feedback in classes with a maximum of 25 students, practical assignments from real companies, and a 4-month internship plus semester abroad options through 9 partner campuses. Programs are structured in focused modules, with students tackling one subject every 5 weeks to avoid multitasking stress.

For specific facilities and tools related to a particular program, the search results mention that the Digital Transformation Management program covers data analytics, automation, and AI technologies with hands-on projects, and references real-world case studies involving companies like Siemens and Bausch + Ströbel.

To provide the persuasive, detailed response you've requested, I would need:
- Official program pages specifically for "Business Innovation and Sustainability" or clarification of which existing program this refers to
- Detailed curriculum documents listing specific software, facilities, and research labs

I'd recommend contacting SRH Haarlem directly through their WhatsApp support (mentioned on their website) to get accurate, program-specific information that would make your marketing assistant role most effective.

Progression & Future Opportunities

I appreciate your detailed request, but I need to be transparent about a limitation with the search results provided.

The search results contain extensive information about SRH Haarlem's Digital Transformation Management, Business Psychology, and Creative Media (in business) programs, along with details about their Master's in Applied Sustainable Management. However, there is no program called "Business Innovation and Sustainability" listed in any of the official university sources provided.

The closest program matching sustainability focus is the Master of Science in Applied Sustainable Management, which launched in February 2024, but this is a graduate-level program rather than a bachelor's degree.

To create an authentic and accurate marketing message for you, I would need:

1. Clarification on whether you meant one of the existing bachelor programs (Digital Transformation Management, Business Psychology, or Creative Media in business)
2. Or confirmation that "Business Innovation and Sustainability" is a new program not yet reflected in these search results
3. Access to official university sources specifically describing this program

I'm committed to helping you craft a persuasive, accurate appeal to prospective students using only verified university information. Once you clarify which program you're promoting, I can deliver a compelling experiential learning section with specific tools, facilities, projects, and opportunities unique to that program at SRH Haarlem.

Would you like me to proceed with one of the existing programs, or can you provide additional sources about the Business Innovation and Sustainability program?
