How can we help to counteract climate change? How do we want to organise society fairly? And how do we deal with conflicting goals and setbacks? The certificate module offers students from all subject areas the opportunity to develop and test transformative skills for sustainable development and gain an additional qualification that is becoming increasingly relevant for the labour market: As part of interdisciplinary programmes, students acquire professional and personal skills that enable them to play an active role in the sustainable transformation of our society. Systemic thinking, collaborative competences and problem-solving skills can be directly applied and tested in practical projects.
The module is divided into two parts: In module part 1, basic knowledge on the topic of ‘sustainable development’ is taught and sustainability skills are tested in initial applications. In module part 2, students can acquire personal skills as well as expand their basic knowledge in specialised seminars and lectures and apply it in practical projects. To obtain the certificate, a total of three courses must be selected from the two module areas, whereby at least one course from each area must be chosen.
