Sustainability is embedded within teaching practices across the Faculty through interdisciplinary curricula that address global environmental challenges and promote sustainable solutions. Courses integrate real-world case studies, research-led content, and experiential learning opportunities to equip students with the skills needed to tackle climate change, resource management, and environmental stewardship. Additionally, sustainability principles are woven into project work and collaborations, encouraging students to apply critical thinking and innovative approaches to complex, real-world issues.
Opportunities for students:
Introduction to Climate Change
This new course will provide the knowledge and skills to help you make informed and climate-conscious decisions to your daily life, study and future career.
I-Explore modules for undergraduates
Undergraduate students take a for-degree-credit I-Explore module from outside of your discipline in either Year 2 or Year 3.
FoNS Make-a-Difference (FoNS-MAD)
Open to FoNS undergraduate students and team members across faculties, FoNS-MAD provides undergraduate students with a forum to develop low-cost technology that would have a positive impact on society- so we are looking for projects that are not purely commercial in nature, but that would have some societal benefit (such as a change or benefit to the economy, society, culture, public policy or services, health, and the environment or quality of life).
Across our departments:
