About Sustainable Futures, Master Degree - at University of Groningen

Co-create equitable and livable futures by rethinking the present, challenging the status quo, and bridging knowledge across cultures, disciplines, and generations.
Imagining futures rooted in justice, sustainability, and collective well-being is a long-standing human practice. Building such futures free from systems of extraction, violence, and domination requires more than imagination; it calls for critical and collective engagement that reflects on the past and acknowledges how norms and values shape the world across past, present, and future. A focus on ethics and justice ensures that envisioned futures remain attentive to both human and more-than-human communities, the places they inhabit, and the ecosystems that sustain them.

  • Interdisciplinary approach grounded in geography and social sciences
  • Ethics, justice and diverse perspectives at the core
  • Hands-on learning through case studies, research and scenario building

The MSc in Sustainable Futures empowers students to engage with pressing issues, amplify marginalised voices, and develop strategies where people, places and ecosystems thrive together.
