DIPLOMA IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
This programme is for a new generation of environmentally conscious and socially responsible changemakers. Our students graduate with focused knowledge and skills in sustainability and social entrepreneurship.
The Diploma in Sustainable Development is an interdisciplinary three-year programme that will equip you with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in:
- Sustainable technologies
- Complexity and ecology
- Social action and leadership
- Small business management
- Communication and storytelling.
In this programme we focus on building entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial skills. Entrepreneurs use their skills to create employment for themselves and others. Intrapreneurs are action-orientated, self-motivated people who drive innovation wherever they are employed.
The Diploma in Sustainable Development will ground you in principles of sustainability through place-based applied learning. The programme is presented in collaboration with the Sustainability Institute at the Lynedoch eco-village. We learn in classrooms, in nature, on field trips and by working in groups. Watch the videos to learn more about our spaces and teaching approach.
