📋 Tender Overview
Starting from the academic year 2022-2023 Wageningen University Research replaces the MSc Management Economics and Consumer Studies MME with five new business and economics related programmes with a keen focus on sustainability. Graduates really know how to accelerate the shift to a sustainable society.The MME master is an established well-reviewed master. Since its launch in 2000 it has delivered a few thousand graduates. So why change it we asked programme director Paul Berentsen Indeed MME received a good assessment from the visitation committee in 2018. But we also received feedback from students that the programme was too broad lacking a clear profile and that they wanted more depth.Stronger profileSo the university really listened to a university committee that investigated the depth and the profile of MME and its specializations. Paul explains We got green light for the development of five specialistic masters with more focus. That gives our graduates a stronger profile for potential employers. And as typical boundary crossers our students learn even more to work with and connect people from different departments and backgrounds.The new programmesSustainable Business and InnovationSupply Chain AnalyticsConsumer StudiesEconomics of SustainabilityGovernance of Sustainability TransformationsAgri-foodTogether with the chair groups involved we also placed the content of the programmes in the context of todays societal challenges he continues Most of the masters start for example with a course on the grand challenges of sustainability. There is also a lot of attention for the agri-food sector as well. Sustainability and Agri-food have been our universitys focal points for years and not without reason.
