A community of lifelong learners
The Tomorrow University community brings together a diverse global mix of people, regardless of age, background, or viewpoint. They're all driven by a shared mission: making positive global change. Their projects span from small solutions to major innovations. What makes this community strong is how it combines different skills and experiences to create meaningful change, both big and small. Aspiring learners become lifelong members by taking on Trial Challenges, pursuing Impact Certificates, or enrolling in full-degree programs. Ultimately, Tomorrow University is a collaborative space where diverse ideas and missions come together, driving progress worldwide.
Stackable degrees
We believe in the concept of stackable degrees, which allows learners to earn credentials progressively as they complete various stages of their education and apply them to other programs. This flexible approach allows learners to attain multiple certifications along their academic journey, acknowledging their achievements and equipping them with relevant skills at different milestones. It’s possible to earn credits by completing a Trial Challenge or Impact Certificate that can later apply to a full-degree program, putting you on track to becoming a lifelong learner. Our Co-Founder & CEO, Dr. Thomas Funke, explains the concept below.
Trial challenges
Trial Challenges are intensive three-week programs designed to help you achieve specific goals while experiencing challenge-based learning. One of these challenges is the "Mission Identification Trial Challenge," where you get the chance to discover your personal mission in a supportive community guided by industry experts. We believe that understanding your "WHY" is crucial for making a meaningful impact. By the end of the three-week program, you'll have a clear sense of direction and purpose. Many participants start the challenge unsure of their personal mission, but through hands-on learning experiences and discussions, they often uncover it with confidence by the end. This challenge forms the basis of all learning experiences at Tomorrow University. Learn more about identifying your personal mission here.
Impact certificates
Impact Certificates are credentials that recognize a learner's expertise in specific areas of sustainability and entrepreneurship. These certificates enhance a learner's portfolio and showcase their dedication to making a positive impact in the world. With a wide variety of Impact Certificates available, learners have the flexibility to personalize their educational journey according to their interests and career goals. These programs, which run for ten weeks, offer a valuable opportunity for individuals to gain new skills within a supportive community as they work towards achieving their personal or professional objectives.
Full-degree programs
Apart from Trial Challenges and Impact Certificates, a diverse range of comprehensive degree programs is available. While Trial Challenges and Impact Certificates provide condensed, intense experiences, our full-degree programs cater to those seeking to embrace lifelong learning. Within these programs, learners have established their own businesses, driven innovation within organizations, and acquired the skills necessary to create a substantial impact on a larger scale. See what learners are working on in their respective programs on our blog during the challenges. Our undergraduate and postgraduate offerings are the following:
- B.A. in Responsible Entrepreneurship: This program equips learners with the knowledge and skills to drive social and environmental change through responsible business practices.
- B.Sc. in AI & Sustainable Technologies: Combining artificial intelligence with sustainable technologies, this program trains learners to develop innovative solutions for a more eco-friendly and efficient future.
- Master of Science in Sustainability, Entrepreneurship, and Technology: Designed for aspiring leaders, this Master's Degree program focuses on sustainable innovation and business strategies for individuals who want to create change by starting their own ventures and initiatives.
- Impact MBA in Sustainability, Innovation, and Leadership: The Impact MBA program empowers learners to become purposeful leaders, ready to tackle global challenges and initiate positive transformations within their organizations. This collective is driving and leading the change from within their spheres of influence.
Accreditation and recognition
