Education and Research
Education for Sustainable Futures (ESF) aims to prepare our students for the complexities before them by fostering the development of a commitment to a sustainable future.
ESF plans to make these changes through questioning, challenge, and transformation, whilst cultivating a sense of belonging and celebrating diversity.
Whilst we recognise the urgency of acting now, we nourish deep understanding and long-term transformation that is inspiring and transcending. Our ESF strategy strives to support existing strategies, such as Learning and Teaching, and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, whilst contributing to and overlapping with other areas of the Academy.
Sustainability is an integral part of teaching across the university, allowing students to have a positive impact in their future careers.
Members of the Academy take an active part in many courses, for example with organising events, exhibitions, and in the branding of our ale each year.
Much of the research undertaken in the university is related directly or indirectly to sustainability, ranging from soil contamination to the positive effects of beaver on the landscape.
Schools and Faculties will have developed a response to ESF such that every student has the opportunity to learn about sustainability in the context of their chosen discipline and field of work.
