The study program "Sustainable Economics and Management" is not only about understanding the existing economic system and being able to map it yourself, but also about critically questioning existing structures, finding innovative solutions and promoting change. Sustainable economics is an integrative approach that links known systems with new ideas. At the same time, the management component of the program enables students to acquire operational and strategic competence for a wide variety of business forms, from start-ups to large corporations. Thus, contents of business administration are enriched by aspects of sustainability and relevant competences.

Particularly in the study program and at the department is the focus on the design competencies: in addition to personal and methodological competencies, especially the competence to act in relation to sustainable development and the sustainable development goals of the UN should be promoted.
