    The scale of the sustainability challenge requires new thinking and its urgency is forcing rapid rethinking of the learning people need to lead this change in all professions and industries.<\/p>\n

    Education for Sustainability (EfS)<\/a> is the field of new practice geared to this ambition. EfS sees sustainability as more than an optional interest or special topic, to slot into existing courses. It reshapes the kind of education we provide and resets our curriculum priorities in all subjects.<\/p>\n

    We have been leading change on this agenda for more than a decade, developing our own expertise and course offer as well as collaborating widely to shift higher education to mainstream EfS.<\/p>\n

    See our ambitious new QAA funded student-led project<\/a> on EfS and quality assessment.<\/p>\n

    Redesigning course experiences<\/h2>\n

    [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

    EfS is still relatively new practice and universities take different paths to develop it \u2013 ranging from including relevant content or providing optional learning modules, to more complete EfS approaches that redesign the whole course from its top level aims right down to the assessment process.<\/p>\n

    We were one of the pioneers to prioritise EfS development and our objectives are about this deeper change across our academic portfolio using authentic professionally relevant learning. Our Sustainability Strategy 2022-2027 continues this work, building on achievements so far:<\/p>\n
