The World Population should reach 10 bn people by 2050 of which two thirds
are expected to live in cities according to the UN. At the same time many natural
resources are becoming depleted, therefore, access to food, land, clean water, and
reliable energy will become increasingly challenging. While this creates material
tensions, such a situation also present significant opportunities to create innovative
sustainable industries. According to the Business and Sustainable Development
Commission “Achieving the Global [UN Sustainable Development] Goals opens up
US$12 trillion of market opportunities in … food and agriculture, cities, energy and
materials, and health &well-being”. But building radically new businesses and jobs
that make profit from purpose whilst addressing economic, environmental and societal
challenges requires two key skills: creativity and business acumen. Developing these
two skills is the role of the MSc Entrepreneurship & Sustainable Design.

Students acquire the following skills:
 Master contextual research and collaboration in the field of sustainability
 Integrate eco-stewardship methodologies with professional scenarios
 Apply sustainable principles and methods to design innovative solutions that meet
the needs and wants of the present while minimizing the negative and maximizing the
positive impact on the future.
 Master the commercial mindset required to transform ideas into new viable
businesses
 Analyse a new venture idea from multiples perspectives
 Increase your chances of success by mastering business models and business plans
