“The Master in Sustainability Transition Management not only broadened my horizons by bringing me in contact with professors, guest speakers and fellow sustainability believers (in our class we love to call ourselves climate hooligans) that are committed to the sustainability vision, but also gave me the opportunity to shift my career by combining two things that I love & I am passionate for: sustainability & fashion. This master was by far the best choice I have made these last years.”
