At least 7,5 ECTS must be taken at SSE, but it will be possible to partially fulfill the elective course requirements with a maximum of 7,5 ECTS when on exchange. This must be pre-approved before the exchange by Associate Professor Lin Lerpold who has the academic responsibility for the track. A course description must be submitted for pre-approval.

To be eligible, write your MSc thesis focused on the broad themes within sustainable development. Important to know is that there is no single method or theory defined, your thesis must adhere to the requirements of your degree program for approval. In a similar vein, it is also important to recognize that there is no industry or company that is “sustainable by default”. For inspiration, the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals are a good starting point. 

The thesis topic needs to be pre-approved by your thesis course director and finally approved for the Sustainability Track when submitted for examination by faculty responsible Lin Lerpold.
