The study. How is the Master's degree structured?

How can risks and opportunities be assessed and, on this basis, how can proactive sustainability management be designed? These questions are the focus of the four-semester Master's programme "Risk Assessment and Sustainability Management" (RASUM). The starting point is the growing challenges facing companies in all sectors that want to integrate the guiding principle of "sustainable development" into their strategy. This is why employees who are able to combine scientific-technical with organizational and economic perspectives are in demand. In interdisciplinary teams, students learn to deal with risks and opportunities in a systematic and structured way and to use the methods and instruments available to them. In this way, they are able to unleash an organization's creative potential for proactive sustainability management and initiate the necessary change processes. RASUM imparts analytical and strategic skills that allow to cross supposed system boundaries and to integrate social psychological and social aspects. With its combination of risk analysis and sustainable development, RASUM is unique in the German university landscape. Teaching is conducted in German and English.
