The Sustainability Management and Technologies programme is a postgraduate Master's programme with a total of four semesters, which are to be completed on a full-time basis. The programme combines in-depth academic studies with practical examples, establishing language competencies required by international markets. The first semester builds the foundation of the programme. The integration of sustainability into business with a focus on life cycle thinking and circularity is combined with performance management and the societal perspective of technology development. The second semester deepens the knowledge on sustainable leadership and introduces technologies crucial for a sustainable development. The third semester extends the programme towards sustainable finance and technologies relevant to address climate change and urban ecology. It also includes a sustainability project. During all semesters, the language skills required in an international environment are built. Upon completion of the Master's thesis, which is written in the fourth semester, students receive the academic degree of "Master of Science", which enables them to start careers in internationally-active business enterprises, in self-employment or in advanced research programmes with a focus on the integration of management, sustainability and technology. The individual study contents ("modules") are shown in the following overview. The study programme comprises 120 ECTS.

Yes | There are different scholarship opportunities for enrolled students in Germany. However, it is very important to understand that scholarships are highly competitive, limited in number, and never guaranteed. Students must ensure they can finance their studies independently and should not rely on receiving a scholarship. Most programmes focus on excellent academic performance, personal engagement, or specific qualifications; financial need is often not the main criterion. Some national scholarships also require German language skills (often B2 level). THI offers its own scholarship opportunities for international students once a year, announced through the university’s communication channels. Deutschlandstipendium, for example, supports high-performing, committed students regardless of their financial situation. Also, there are several major national foundations with extensive selection processes for which the university provides guidance and support.

There is an option to spend one semester at one of the partner universities of THI, or to do an optional internship abroad. Further, the ACE2EU partnership offers possibilities for short-term stays abroad at ACE2EU member universities.
Whether you can work alongside your studies depends on several factors. At the beginning, it is advisable to focus on your studies and adjust to a new academic and cultural environment. Studying abroad can be challenging due to different learning cultures and the need to catch up on course content. International students are required to take part in a programme preparing them for the German labour market. A good command of German at least B2 level is essential for employment opportunities. Students are therefore encouraged to invest time in learning German. After the first year, students may consider taking on a part-time job. Specialist skills are required to work as a student trainee. Furthermore, non-EU citizens only have a limited work permit in Germany (see Study and work).
