Tuition is 21,670 USD per year.

Transformative Sustainability is a two-year master's program taught in English at Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi in Milano, Italy. This field of study examines how businesses, institutions, and economies can shift toward more sustainable practices, combining perspectives from economics, management, and environmental studies. Typical subjects include sustainability strategy, environmental economics, corporate social responsibility, and courses addressing the policy frameworks that govern environmental and social sustainability. Students in this discipline generally study how organizations integrate sustainability into their core operations and strategy, examining topics such as circular economy models, sustainable supply chains, and the measurement of environmental and social impact. Coursework often covers the regulatory and policy environment surrounding sustainability, including climate policy and reporting standards, alongside management theory applied to organizations seeking to reduce their environmental footprint while remaining economically viable. Because sustainability challenges span multiple sectors and disciplines, students typically develop both an understanding of the scientific and policy dimensions of environmental and social issues and the managerial skills needed to implement change within organizations. This combination is intended to prepare graduates to work on the practical challenges involved in transitioning businesses and institutions toward more sustainable models of operation. Career paths for graduates include roles in sustainability consulting, corporate sustainability and environmental, social, and governance functions within companies, non-governmental organizations, and public policy bodies focused on environmental and social issues. Some graduates continue into further study in environmental economics, management, or public policy. Milano's business environment offers a relevant setting for studying how sustainability is applied within organizations and markets. Taught in English, this master's program is designed for an international student body interested in the economic, managerial, and policy dimensions of sustainability.
