Internship opportunities and other relevant field and exchange experiences are created and provided for students and graduates, providing the much-needed hands-on experience.

In terms of the economic value of sustainable development (SD) and circular economy (CE) by 2050, projections suggest that these sectors will represent significant opportunities for economic growth and innovation. Reports from institutions such as the World Economic Forum and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation indicate that the global market for sustainable goods and services could be worth trillions of dollars by 2050, driven by increasing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products and services, as well as regulatory pressures to reduce carbon emissions and waste.

We boast of an experienced, robust, world-class faculty, who are pioneers, innovators, industry experts, and leaders across a multidisciplinary background.
