The study programme in a nutshell

This programme introduces students to what sustainable development is and how economic systems can both support and hinder the Sustainable Development Goals. It is unique because it offers a multi-perspective approach and combines scientific and practical knowledge. By combining the expertise of many Erasmus School of Economics’ high-level researchers, representing a wide set of economic specialisations, the school provides you with the knowledge and skills to understand the complexity behind the SDGs. And as we work with external stakeholders like several ministries and Clingendael, this knowledge is directly applied to real world cases like climate change, migration, health ageing and inequality.

Quote from our students

The Impact Case is the most useful and fun project I have worked on at the EUR. The project allowed me to build practical skills and gave us an insight into the politics within stakeholder networks.
