Overview

This Economics of Sustainability from Erasmus University Rotterdam introduces students to what sustainable development is and how economic systems can both support and hinder the Sustainable Development Goals. It is unique because it offers a multi-perspective approach and combines scientific and practical knowledge.

By combining the expertise of many Erasmus School of Economics’ high-level researchers, representing a wide set of economic specialisations, the school provides you with the knowledge and skills to understand the complexity behind the SDGs. And as we work with external stakeholders like several ministries and OECD, this knowledge is directly applied to real world cases like climate change, migration, health ageing and inequality.

Career opportunities after graduation

You will gain the expertise and skills to develop, implement, analyse, and evaluate economic policies in relation to sustainable development challenges. This expertise can be used in a multitude of roles within companies, NGOs and governmental institutions.
