Sustainable Development Goals in education

Wageningen University & Research aims at contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in all education programmes. Working on the SDGs is integrated in the curriculum of most BSc and MSc programmes.

Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals are an integral part of the education ecosystem at Wageningen University & Research. Many of the SDGs are woven into the courses for students, as well as in the post-academic and online courses.

Bachelor's and master's programmes at Wageningen University cover all the SDGs. A survey of all these programmes has helped identify the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are the focus in more than twenty bachelor and master programmes. The following six SDGs are strongly represented at Wageningen University.
