DTU Master in Sustainable Leadership is master programme for senior specialists, project managers and business leaders who wish to continue their lifelong learning journey and enhance their skills in leadership and how to lead sustainable change.

Innovation is essential for growth. Without constant renewal of products, services, processes and business concepts, companies stand to lose market share. That is why the DTU executive MBA focuses on innovation, new business creation and leadership of current and future technologies.

Every assignment in the programme is focused not only on expanding your knowledge but also on impacting your business challenges. In other words, your Executive MBA can be implemented in your daily work life from day one.

The admission requirements are five years of work experience with three years of experience as knowledge-leader, project-leader and/or people-leader.
