Mindfulness & Leadership

Master | Full Time

The Master’s program in Mindfulness & Leadership (M.Sc.) is an international, practice-oriented academic program that is the only one of its kind in the world to combine mindfulness and leadership. It’s designed for individuals who are interested in helping companies adopt a more conscious and mindful approach to leadership in light of the stresses and challenges posed by digitalization. Remote work, while offering flexibility, can also make it harder for employees to disconnect and recover during leisure time, ultimately impacting their motivation and performance. This program aims to address these challenges by equipping you with the knowledge and skills to provide coaching for managers, or to become a mindful manager yourself.

During your studies, you’ll develop a broad range of mindfulness skills and gain comprehensive knowledge in international leadership and research methods. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in an internship and choose an elective module to develop your professional profile.
