Accordingly, there is a shift in thinking that requires new qualities and mindsets in management. This is where you come on the scene.

Your educational path and your professional goals are at least as unique as you are, reason enough not to simply study on campus in the traditional way, but instead study wherever you are - around the clock and 365 days a year. IU’s distance learning programme offers these and many other advantages with its different time models and the innovative mix of virtual courses, digital learning tools and a unique online community. In this way, you’ll be able to complete your Master's degree with maximum self-determination and, if necessary, along with other students - without compromising and perfectly tailored to your personal needs.  

There are countless reasons for studying a Master's degree at IU. Perhaps one of the most important is the fact that a Master's degree is required in more and more professional fields. After all, it is synonymous with proven expertise in a subject area that you have personally defined. This is especially true if you want to do a doctorate and pursue an academic career. Another advantage of a Master's programme is that you can begin getting a taste of practical experience and broaden your horizons with valuable experience. This means that you will have a lot more arguments in your favour when it comes to job opportunities than candidates who "only" have a Bachelor's degree. You’ll also benefit from attractive career prospects. You will not only be able to start your career at a significantly higher salary level; as a Master's graduate, you will also take on responsible tasks in a managerial position much sooner. 

The Master's degree in Sustainable Management at IU International University of Applied Sciences focuses on the classic business management disciplines and fields of action, expanding them to include ecological, social and ethical perspectives. In this way, you will gain a 360° view and learn to do business sustainably. To do this, you will first acquire a well-founded basis in business administration and economics. Then you will choose your focus from the classic business administration disciplines. Individualise your skills with the help of elective modules and expand your basic business knowledge with your own ideas and perspectives. The result is a fully comprehensive business studies programme in which the usual canon of subjects is expanded to include aspects of social responsibility and sustainability. You will therefore become interdisciplinary, functionally broader and able to actively shape the business world of tomorrow.   

It is becoming increasingly important for companies to adopt a sustainable approach. After all, a holistic approach contributes significantly to profits. This rethinking requires new qualities and ways of thinking at management level. As a graduate with a Master's degree in Sustainable Management, you will become a sought-after professional for middle management positions in companies that want to consciously integrate the topic of sustainability into their corporate strategy, culture and organisation. With your innovative contribution, you will enrich the modern strategic approaches of tomorrow, be it as a management consultant for sustainable business transformation, as a managing director or founder of your own company, or as head of the finance department with team responsibility.
