Circular Economy LUT University

Overview

The circular economy is a systemic model that addresses global sustainability challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and the overconsumption of natural resources. It also serves as a strategic framework for minimising waste and emissions by closing and narrowing material and energy loops, thereby maintaining products, materials, and resources at their highest utility and value for as long as possible.

This  Circular Economy programme from LUT University  offers a comprehensive look at the circular economy, combining perspectives and practical tools to help you understand how circularity works in various contexts. Closely aligned with sustainability science, the curriculum also introduces key concepts for advancing societal change toward strong sustainability, such as planetary boundaries, just transitions, sufficiency, and ecological economics.

Career prospects 

The master's programme prepares you to work as a professional in the circular economy in a wide range of jobs focusing primarily on sustainable business and production.

As a graduate, you may find jobs in industry, consultancy, regulatory agencies, and governmental and non-governmental organisations, where growing interest in sustainability has created new job opportunities.
