MSc in Sustainability Management and Innovation

The Vision 2040 framework emphasizes sustainability, economic diversification, and social development, which are key components of the SDGs. This proactive approach has created an environment where organizations are encouraged to reassess and innovate their strategies. As His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik emphasizes, “Oman is committed to achieving sustainable development goals, ensuring that our economic growth is balanced with environmental protection and social well-being. This commitment is reflected in our national strategies and policies.”

Businesses must transform themselves over the next decade to address environmental and social challenges. To drive these essential changes, organizations, regions, and cities will need to employ graduates who can analyze the most pressing environmental and societal issues, collaboratively develop viable solutions and new strategies, and effectively implement these changes within their respective entities.
