Overview

Education for Sustainable Development from University of Gothenburg was offered for the first time in August 2018, and we are passionate about developing it in parallel to current and relevant research. We stand out among other programmes by being completely online, with a wide and diverse range of students.

Quick Facts:

There is only one Earth. With global challenges like accelerating climate change, mass extinction of species, rising inequity, and a growing world population, the urgency of creating a more sustainable world is alarming. In what ways do we need to re-think and re-enact education in the face of current ecological crises? The whole programme will be carried out online through webinars with teachers.
As a student of the programme, you will interact online through webinars with teachers and fellow students from a variety of backgrounds, such as environmental sciences, social sciences, educational sciences, economics, the arts, and humanities. You will enter into critical dialogue with recent scientific debates in the educational, social, and natural sciences, and develop theoretical and practical knowledge of education for sustainable development. Education is embedded in various sectors working with sustainable development, and you will have the opportunity to connect your own interests and prior experiences in sustainability to your coursework as you explore these perspectives.
