Master of Science (MSc) in
Sustainability Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Business as usual is over!

Objectives of the programme

This Master of Science degree in Sustainability Entrepreneurship and Innovation is designed for aspiring change makers who want to apply the tools of business to solving the world’s most urgent social and environmental problems. Whether students set out to integrate sustainability practices into a corporation, start their own purpose-driven companies, or anything in between, this MSc empowers them to drive change within teams, firms, and industries.

A two-year residential programme based in Berlin and Paris, with a week in Norway, the Master in Sustainability Entrepreneurship and Innovation builds on the latest thinking on sustainable business, entrepreneurship and innovation.

Over six terms, students will gain a practical understanding of relevant business concepts and methods, such as values-based innovation management and business modelling, as well as direct experience in the field on an internship, a consulting engagement, or a business development project.

ESCP Berlin’s Vision Of Sustainability

Sustainability is a Key Academic Area at ESCP Berlin. It entails various study programmes, research projects and ESCP Berlin’s activities in the pursuit of itself becoming a sustainable organisation. This Key Academic Area is devoted to finding answers to essential questions within the field of sustainability entrepreneurship and management. Selected experts from renowned companies and NGOs support the school as a Sustainability Advisory Board.

Master of Science (MSc) in Sustainability Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Practical idealism

We believe students of this programme will be pragmatic idealists. Most students will have backgrounds in economics, natural sciences, or engineering. They are fluent in English and interested in pursuing an international business career that is focused on building innovative and sustainability-driven companies that aim to solve urgent issues such as poverty, degradation of natural ecosystems or climate change.

This full-time, two-year programme is taught entirely in English, but most serious sustainability problems cross borders, so students study a second language as well. Cross-cultural perspectives are further encouraged through conversations with ESCP’s international faculty and students as well as frequent speakers. In the vibrant capital cities of Germany and France, students will also find significant opportunities to engage with and learn from impactful sustainability efforts.

Your group is expected to deliver a high-level analysis and make actionable recommendations that can realistically be implemented by the company.

The Company Consultancy Projects are a key element of the programme that enables students to get to know a sector or a specific function. They require significant commitment and focus from the students over 2-3 months.

Through the Company Consultancy Project, students learn how to work efficiently as a team and hone their skills in:

  • Project planning and management
  • Data collection and analysis
  • Development of hypotheses and recommendations
  • Customer service
  • Public speaking and presentations

Within the framework of the Company Consultancy Projects, dedicated workshops are carried out such as:

  • Client interaction
  • Presentation skills

Throughout the project, guidance is provided by business experts with support from ESCP professors.

Students learn how to approach an issue with a critical mindset, and how to adapt swiftly in unexpected situations with a creative and open-minded attitude.

The Sustainable Lifestyles Venture
Work with the United Nations Environment Programme

A 3-term project together with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to explore how to build and manage the enterprises of the future that will give consumers more sustainable choices.

International Study Trip

At the beginning of Term 4, your cohort will visit Oslo, Norway to get forward-thinking insights and practical experience with the Norwegian Model of sustainable and regenerative food system transformation. The trip will last one week and consist of company visits, case studies, guest speakers, and group activities.

Internship
A professional mission in the form of an in-company internship of at least 3 months

From May to August of the second year, students must complete an in-company internship of at least 3 months. The internship is an opportunity for practicing theoretical concepts learned, gaining experience, and networking, all with an eye towards kicking-off your career.

Here are some examples of companies and organisations at which students have obtained internships:

Nike – Atlantic Food Labs  – Active Giving  – SAP – Brussels Beer Project – Siemens Mobility – C4 Ventures  – Emma: the Sleep Company – Digital Career Institute

A unique feature of this programme is the possibility to do a Business Development Project (BDP) instead of an internship. The BDP allows students to work on their own business projects, for example writing a business plan, launching a marketing campaign, doing market research, applying for funding, and much more. Many MSEI students make use of the BDP to test and train their entrepreneurial skills in an intense working period at the end of their studies.

The European Career Development Centre

The Career Development Centre is present on all 6 campuses and is composed of career experts who specialise in knowledge about industries, countries, and local labour markets. Their role is to help identify your career goals and help you get there by providing you with the right tips, tools, and connections.

Professional thesis
Writing and defending a professional thesis

Starting in February of the second year, students must draft a professional thesis in consultation with an ESCP professor, which is based on the course "Research Methods" (Term 4). The topic chosen is approved beforehand by an academic advisor. This individual research project is an essential part of the programme. It represents 20 of the total of 120 ECTS credits earned over the two years.

Network of Business Mentors

Learning from ESCP’s entrepreneurship ecosystem

ESCP has a large network of companies and entrepreneurs, which offers unique access to the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Berlin and beyond. This special access to entrepreneurial ecosystems is used to connect students of the MSc in Sustainability Entrepreneurship and Innovation to business mentors.

These mentors will support our students during their one-year “Sustainable Entrepreneurship & Innovation Projects” (SEIPs). The SEIPs are hands-on business ideation projects, from opportunity recognition to business planning, that allow our students to gain in-depth insights into the practical challenges of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Typically, four students form a SEIP team which is guided by one experienced mentor.

ESCP is currently setting up a new network of business mentors for the MSc in Sustainability Entrepreneurship and Innovation (as of April 2019).

Our network includes the following experts

Careers

Demand is up for values-based change agents and entrepreneurs: more companies than ever see sustainability as an essential part of their mission.

However, the new corporate commitment should be seen as the floor of our forecast, not the ceiling. Given the world’s many pressing concerns – climate change, aging populations, income inequality, and more – it’s hard to think of any industry or sector that could benefit more from talented and socially aware entrepreneurs.
