Students can choose one or several courses:

• Ecological Sustainable Development

Environmental perspectives, human impact and sustainable transitions.

• Social Sustainable Development

Social justice, inclusion, norms and intercultural collaboration.

• Sustainable and Resilient Entrepreneurship

Economic sustainability, entrepreneurship, resilience and business-related sustainability challenges.

Each course gives 3 ECTS credits and runs from 5 October to 27 November 2026. The courses are taught in English and delivered online.

The courses are built around modules, workshops and group work. The first modul is shared by all three courses and introduces sustainable development and effective group work. The following workshops are adapted to the specific focus of each course, while still connecting ecological, social and economic dimensions of sustainability.

Through the courses, students collaborate with peers from different backgrounds and universities. They develop intercultural and interdisciplinary understanding, as well as skills in teamwork, communication, problem-solving and reflection on group development. These competencies are important for working with sustainability challenges in a globalized and multicultural world.

The courses are at undergraduate level and no prior knowledge is required. They are open to students from the University of Skövde and INGENIUM partner universities.
