The Global Sustainability sub-major provides a unique, signature learning experience for students involving local and global partners committed to sustainable development. The sub-major explores the interrelationship between humans and the natural and built environment from multiple paradigms. Students will investigate the grand challenge of achieving a sustainable society and in the process become future thinkers and innovators. Global Sustainability involves the choice of three sustainability units from five different schools and a social action internship which can be based regionally or internationally. The sub-major is recognised by and cobranded with the United Nations University’s Regional Centres of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development.
