Overview

The Master of Science (MSc) in Sustainable Management and Technology at the University of Lausanne is intended for holders of a bachelor degree with little or no professional experience and it is meant to bring together students with either a management/economics background or an engineering background.

While it builds on theory and real-life applications, the program is committed to enhance 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 are completed and enriched by lectures and workshops with experts from industry.

The SMT master program trains the next generation of entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs to conduct business for the benefit of their organizations, the environment and society in general. Graduates will be able to lead teams in multiple disciplines and solve complex problems in different organizations (corporations, start-ups, NGOs, governments).They will also be ready to take non-traditional positions and pursue their ideas as entrepreneurs, by integrating sustainability largely defined in their core activities.
