The CHARM-EU Master’s in Global Challenges for Sustainability has a transdisciplinary character and focuses on concrete social issues on water, food and life and health. To be able to tackle these issues, students from different backgrounds are selected. The programme consists of three compulsory phases. In the ‘preparatory phase’, the focus is on acquiring general skills, especially in the fields of Sustainability, Social Innovation and Transdisciplinary Research. In the 'flexible phase', students choose from the three tracks on water, food or life & health. In the final, 'capstone phase', students complete a project on a sustainability challenge, in cooperation with an external partner from business or society.
