Circular Economy

In this programme, you will learn how different bio-based solutions may help us to construct systems without waste. In a circular economy, the role of business is central, and you will also learn about the dynamics of sustainable business models.

Overview

The circular economy aims to keep products, materials and other resources at their highest utility and value. The aim is to decouple economic growth from the consumption of finite natural resources by closing the loops of product life cycles. Ideally, the system in which resources are endlessly circulated into goods and services is waste-free and powered by renewable energy systems. In this Master's programme, you will learn how to save resources in different situations by, for example, replacing goods with services by increasing the utilisation of information technology. You will also learn to create sharing economy-based solutions which are built on the abilities of individuals and communities.
