In this one-of-a-kind joint programme, you will gain an advanced understanding in sustainability issues while working on real-world problems with peers and partners from business, civil society and policy.

The program offers a fully international and intercultural experience: students attend classes in one of the CHARM-EU universities and connect to the other campuses online through hybrid classrooms. International mobility is an integrated part: you will follow a unique learning path through Europe that supports your needs and ambitions. You will experience a welcoming, equitable learning space that values diversity at every level, helping you acquire new skills while deepening your expertise through a chosen field.

Application is open to students with a Bachelor’s degree in any field of study. The program is highly recommended to applicants who are open to learning in an international environment with innovative teaching methods, willing to work with peers, teachers and external partners from diverse backgrounds, and eager to contribute to the solution of complex challenges.
