Sustainability courses at CBS
Sustainability continues to be an increasingly important area of business studies, and the sustainability research carried out at the Centre for Sustainability covers diverse topics such as public policy, consumer behavior, corporate responsibility and much more.
The courses organised by the Centre for Sustainability faculty provide the student with access to knowledge and insights from leading sustainability researchers. Sustainability courses are an excellent way for students from any programme to build a unique academic profile.
Copenhagen Business School offers a variety of courses related to sustainability which are either contributed to or coordinated by the Centre for Sustainability’s faculty. Below is an overview of the courses offered through the Centre for Sustainability for the academic year 2023/2024.
