Sustainable Management and Technology (Joint Program)

专业详情

Joint program UNIL/HEC-IMD-EPFL

The Master of Science in Sustainable Management and Technology aims at equipping the entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs of the future with the knowledge and skills enabling them to contribute to the transition toward a more resilient, environmentally responsible and inclusive economy while harnessing the power of technology.

In a world confronted with unprecedented challenges, notably climate change and the digital and biological revolutions, institutions of higher education have a responsibility in preparing the leaders of tomorrow who will guide society and organizations, help overcome these challenges, and face the consequent societal changes.

The success of this mission requires combining multiple perspectives. It is in this spirit that three institutions of academic excellence, UNIL-HEC, IMD and EPFL have joined forces to help society overcome those challenges and spearhead the transition toward a more resilient, environmentally responsible and inclusive economy.

Program’s objectives

Students will build competences along three dimensions simultaneously and in a balanced manner: technology & innovation, economics & management, and tools & skills for developing sustainable solutions.

While the program builds on theory and real-life applications, it is committed to enhance students’ personal and social skills by encouraging interdisciplinary team work on practical projects and by systematically mixing students of different profiles. The formal course work and team projects will be completed and enriched by lectures and workshops with experts from industry.
