Competence Development for Successful Managers: Technical and Methodological Expertise for Complex Decision-Making
Successful sustainability managers need very comprehensive technical and methodological know-how in order to be able to make the "right" decisions in extremely complex and highly dynamic situations and then implement them.
You will acquire this technical and methodological expertise in the three competence clusters "Enabling", "Managing" and "Transforming", to each of which we have assigned three specialist modules.
Areas & Modules

In each module, we always analyze the specific management challenges and the resulting tasks on the basis of the latest findings from science and practice and with the most suitable methods and tools. In this way, we gain a "clear view" of the situation, can derive responsible decisions and ultimately implement successful solutions.

Blended Learning Approach
With our blended learning approach, we combine the advantages of distance learning with the strengths of in-person instruction. Our MBA program is 90% online, consisting of eight online modules and one on-campus module held over the course of one week at FAU in Nuremberg.
We’ve developed a program design that will allow you to work and study in unison:
It offers a high degree of individual flexibility, both spatially and temporally. On the one hand, it is designed as a distance learning program and can therefore be studied completely independent of location.
On the other hand, approximately 2/3 of the workload can be completed asynchronously by the students. This means that 50% of each module as well as the final Master's thesis can be completed with a certain degree of time flexibility. The remaining third of the workload is composed of the remaining 50% of each module and forms the synchronous part. This will take place in the form of live online events scheduled in an equally job- and family-friendly manner.
