Online MSc-level Course on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
What is the role and responsibility of education to not only respond to sustainability problems, but also to prevent them and create more sustainable futures? This question is at the core of the web-based course in Education for Sustainable Development.
Last year Gothenburg University in Sweden, with support from ECS, pilotted an on-line Masters Course on ESD. This November the course will run again.
In this 15 credit MSc-level Master’s course, you will critically and actively explore central concepts and perspectives in the field of education for sustainable development.
The course is of interest if you:

It is a distance course, all teaching will be carried out online. The course language is English.
