The programme will be taught with a combination of lectures, cases, group work and use of online resources, in addition to the preparation and presentation of the group reports. In addition to the academic lecturers, several relevant individuals with market experience will also be included as lecturers and in debates.

The students are expected to conduct a significant group report at an advanced level on a topic related to the overall scope of the course. The students are expected to present and defend, as well as discuss other groups’ reports in a 2-day final session. This session thus aggregates and concludes the learning outcomes for the students. Sustainable finance is a challenging, interdisciplinary subject where the students in particular benefit from reflecting, presenting and discussing challenging topics where the solutions also require mature judgements. This, combined with a generally critical approach towards the subjects, will also be applied during the lectures and class discussions. 

The programme includes eight full days of learning, organised into two weekends of three full day physical sessions each, and a two day final session where students present, defend and discuss their group reports.

The programme is demanding, and completing the programme requires significant efforts from the participants through self-study and participation in groups.

Tuition fees for the programme is NOK 70 000. 

Literature, travel and subsistence expenses (lunch, refreshments, dinner and accommodation) in connection with sessions will come in addition to the tuition fees and are estimated to NOK 20 000.
