First cycle degree in
Sustainable Business for Societal Challenges
Presentation
Program Overview
Sustainable Business for Societal Challenges (SUS.BUS.) is an immersive and engaging bachelor's degree program with limited access.
Designed to address and manage the complex economic and social changes currently occurring in modern society, the curriculum is strongly guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The program aims to provide students with the theoretical knowledge and managerial skills needed to successfully manage social innovation and spur social entrepreneurship.
A defining pillar of SUS.BUS. is its high level of interdisciplinarity: by integrating diverse fields—ranging from business and management to chemistry and neuroscience—the degree offers a multifaceted overview of sustainability.
SUS.BUS. is structured as a blended course that actively experiments with modern technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), to propose innovative teaching solutions. This forward-looking approach is combined with practical applications, laboratories, and internships, where active participation is highly expected.
The degree boasts a strong international character, encouraging study-abroad experiences through the Erasmus program, Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs), and Double Degree (DD) opportunities, all developed with the active involvement of dynamic organizations operating in research and social impact.
