Global Project and Change Management

Our curriculum combines theory and practice, project and change management, business and research with global issues. The BBA programme consists of courses, real projects with companies from the first year onwards, an international internship and professional career counselling.
Each semester in this bachelor of sustainable development you will work in a small group on a larger project with a real-life client. Due to your schedule and the assignments, your study load is roughly 46 hours a week. We teach in an interactive style, expecting you to work together with a lecturer instead of only listening to a lecture.
In the end you will know how to lead a project team and how to put innovative ideas into practice. You will become a change maker, aware of your own strengths and ambitions, able to create sustainable value for society.

This bachelor of sustainable development has three learning lines: Business Skills, Research and Project Management. Each course has its own focus (Fig.), but all courses incorporate our central theme of Global Challenges. 
Most of our students enjoy courses like Presentation and Pitching and Critical and Creative Thinking, in which they improve their business skills in creative way. Some students struggle with the courses ‘Managerial Accounting’ and ‘Financial Analysis’. That is one of the reasons we offer the mathematics summer course, which we discuss with you during the selection interview. 

Our education is on-demand and offers you a platform to grow professionally and work together with other professionals from different networks. The Value Creator is an innovative environment where we support and encourage our students to create their own learning path and give them space to come up with innovative and creative valuable soulutions.
Enjoy the journey!

For example, students worked together addressing Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages) and 11 (make cities inclusive, safe and sustainable) by participating in a challenge in Asturias, Spain. They looked into ways to improve the life of older people living in big cities; they did so by exploring the urban facilities available that could support them. In this journey they created a large network on their own and found numerous E-Health companies and other urban-related solutions. By connecting existing networks within Asturias province and giving their advice on how to collaborate they created Value for the region, the elderly citizens and innovations in health care.
