Module overview
Study with students from around the world on projects that focus on key areas of sustainable development, as defined by the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Learn from academics, local businesses, and peers. Develop academic and presentation skills, immerse yourself in another culture, tackle global challenges, and give your CV a boost. Students will learn in small classrooms of around 18 students, working on a collective project for delivery to a panel of experts in their field.
During the programme, students will focus on four Sustainable Development Goals*:
Good health and wellbeing
Reduced inequalities
Sustainable cities and communities
Climate action
*Themes may be randomised in delivery order, according to participating student numbers. Module subject to accreditation.
