This course has been specially designed to help you learn about an element of sustainable development.  

The courses are entirely on-line and you will be guided through each learning section. You will learn about the theory and practice of different elements of sustainability. 

Principles of Sustainable Development

In each section you will learn by using:

  • Interactive learning activities 

  • Short videos that will explain certain ideas or concepts 

  • Rich case studies, these will give you an insight into ‘real life’ examples

  • Learning checks: short assessments to ensure that you have understood the key learning points of each section

At the end of the course there will be a final assessment to check your understanding of the course materials.
