Recommended study plan:

The courses in the Sustainability Reporting specialization can be spread over two semesters. It is recommended that you complete courses 1 and 2 before courses 3 and 4. If you wish to write your Bachelor's thesis as part of the specialization programme, we recommend that you register in the 2nd semester.

Programme of the courses

The courses require an attendance of 80% and include several partial performances. It is important to note that missed assignments cannot be made up. The overall grade is made up of the grades achieved in the partial performances. These partial achievements are only valid for the respective semester, therefore it is not possible to divide them over several semesters. Once a partial performance has been completed, it is no longer possible to deregister from the course.  

Course registration 

Students who have been admitted to the specialization will be informed of their admission by e-mail after the end of the registration period. Students who were admitted can sign up for Course I “Introduction into Sustainability Reporting” between 19.09. – 22.09.2024.

Registration for courses II - IV takes place on a first come - first serve basis during the specified registration periods via LPIS.
