Mestrado em Administração de Empresas em Gestão de Química Sustentável

Emerging policy frameworks all over the globe are setting ambitious goals for conducting value creation within the safe operating space of the planetary boundaries and the Agenda 2030. All sectors of the economy, from agriculture, housing, healthcare, mobility, and energy to the IT sector, depend on the use of chemical products and are facing an imminent necessity to change gear in response to climate change, pollution, and resource depletion. New types of resources and energy systems are required for production routes, along with increased circularity in resource and product flows and compliance with international regulations for pollution prevention and climate neutrality.

Excellence in Sustainable Chemistry and Sustainability Management / / Leuphana University and ISC3

The MBA in Sustainable Chemistry Management is an innovative program offered by the Institute for Sustainable and Environmental Chemistry (ISEC) in collaboration with the Centre for Sustainability Management (CSM) of Leuphana University - a leading center of excellence for sustainability management and an international research hub in the field of sustainable entrepreneurship, that adds more than 15 years of experience in management education to the program. Program development is conducted at the Research & Education Hub of the International Sustainable Chemistry Collaborative Centre (ISC3), which is hosted by ISEC. The ISC3 was established in 2017 by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU) as a center contributing to the international transformation toward Sustainable Chemistry in the context of the UN Agenda 2030 and the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM). Following the development of the M.Sc. Sustainable Chemistry, a related degree launched in 2020 at Leuphana Professional School, the MBA Sustainable Chemistry Management is a second important milestone of transformative educational activities in sustainable chemistry.

In the course of its reorganization in 2006, Leuphana introduced a university model unique to the German academic landscape. By spring 2009, the following new academic schools had been established:

College: Award-winning bachelor's programme provides a variety of perspectives

The college is where students can obtain their first academic degree. Since 2007, the Leuphana Bachelor’s programme has been offering a homogeneously structured and interdisciplinary oriented programme of study. It is targeted toward students who are interested in more than specialised knowledge and who enjoy working independently and responsibly.

Graduate School: Combining interdisciplinary master’s degrees with doctoral studies

Since 2008, the Graduate School offers master’s programmes with a specialisation in the following three thematic fields: Governance & Law, Humanities & Social Sciences, Management & Entrepreneurship, and Education. The study model of the Graduate School offers graduate students the opportunity to intertwine their master’s studies with doctoral studies. Furthermore, we offer doctoral candidates from all over the world the opportunity to work and research in a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment.

Professional School: Continuing education and business outreach for professionals and corporations

The school offers programmes for continuing education and optimal conditions for lifelong learning (since 2009). The Professional School is geared toward working with adults who are interested in furthering their educational goals – ranging from those who have just joined the job market to senior managers.
