The Business Management Group educates future business, change and process leaders at undergraduate and advanced levels within the programmes of agroecology, agronomy, horticultural science and management, landscape engineering, agricultural and rural management, and sustainable food systems.

Priority topics are production, environmental and circular economies, financial management, business strategy and models, entrepreneurship, innovation, marketing, management, leadership and organisation, social sustainability, project management and facilitation, and methodological courses in agriculture, forestry, horticulture and landscape.

The subject area maintains close interaction and collaboration with society, industry, external colleges and universities, so that all learning is applicable in practice, and applies a systems perspective and close links to research. In addition, it provides postgraduate and distance courses and commissioned courses.

Large number of students

The area provides extensive teaching and runs courses at undergraduate level with large numbers of students, but also runs courses at advanced level (national and international students) and has a strong presence in undergraduate and advanced courses in other departments. In addition, it provides postgraduate and distance courses and commissioned courses.

High quality

The aim is to provide high-quality interdisciplinary courses for national and international students, focusing on economic and social sustainability in the green sector, in rural and urban environments (ecological sustainability is a precondition).

Longer-term ambitions are to develop an international degree programme in business administration/business management and an international Master’s programme in leadership for sustainability, and to offer more distance learning courses.
