Sustainable Business Battle

The Sustainable Business Battle is a 3-week business challenge in which 10 interdisciplinary teams of students compete in order to find the most sustainable, innovative, and practical solutions to their given case. The cases are authentic and provided by different companies. As a student of Leiden University, you can join one of the competing teams, but you can also help organise the event.

Study abroad

Would you like to gain (more) international experience? Then you can take electives during an exchange semester or conduct your thesis research project abroad. Both institutes have many international contacts that you can benefit from.
Please note that, as Governance of Sustainability offers a lot of core courses, doing an exchange semester will in most cases lead to an extension of your studies with one semester. Please contact the study advisors for more information.
