Master’s Programme in Creative Sustainability

The International Master’s Programme in Creative Sustainability (CS) is a joint master’s degree programme at School of Arts, Design and Architecture, School of Business and School of Engineering. The Creative Sustainability Programme is a multidisciplinary learning platform in the fields of architecture, business, design, and real estate. The Master’s Degree Programme in Creative Sustainability brings together students from different fields to study in multidisciplinary teams that increases understanding of different disciplines and enables adapting a holistic approach. This activates students to create new sustainable solutions for human, urban, industrial and business environments. The pedagogical approach is based on integrating teaching and research, problem-based learning, blended learning and strong connection to practical outcomes.

Creative Sustainability studies at the Department of Design empower and encourage students to create new roles for designers in the professional fields and prepare students to start own companies or work as sustainability experts in organizations that have a strategic view on transformation towards sustainability. These include the private and public sectors as well as a wide range of NGO’s. Graduates of Creative Sustainability Major (MA) will work as designers, experts, educators, researchers managers and directors in the organizations that have a strategic view on transformation towards sustainability. In teaching, different aspects of sustainability are covered in collaboration with the Sustainable Design Research team (NODUS) and other relevant research groups.

The CS programme is also offered as minor subject studies for all master level students of Aalto University.
