Education for SDGs: specific courses on sustainability
CUT is committed to integrating the SDGs into its educational programs, with many B.Sc. and M.Sc. curricula embedding SDGs into core learning outcomes. Departments offer dedicated courses integrated across full curricula, such as ABF 200 (Ecology and Conservation of Biodiversity), CIV 215 (Sustainability and Environmental Concepts), and CEN 428 (Environmental Legislation). An interdisciplinary approach is emphasised in CIV 215 (Sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Technical Applications). Most of these courses are often compulsory for department students and available as electives to others. Moreover, key programs addressing SDGs include the BSc in Agricultural Sciences, Biotechnology and Food Science, BSc in Chemical Engineering, BSc in Civil Engineering, MSc in Public Health, and MSc in Energy Systems. Additionally, through the EUt+ alliance, CUT leads efforts to develop an interdisciplinary, multinational BSc in Sustainable Development.
