Social & Environmental Sustainability StrategyEducation for Sustainability
Our ambition
Sustainability skills are increasingly critical for both current and future generations. To achieve our goals, it is important that all Strathclyders understand the fundamentals of sustainability, no matter their background or discipline.
We will ensure that all the education we provide is equipping students, staff and stakeholders with the knowledge and skills needed to actively prioritise and deliver a sustainable future for all.

Understanding & communicating sustainability
To empower informed discussions, debate and decision-making processes, we are, and will continue to equip all our students and staff with the knowledge and understanding of key challenges surrounding sustainability.
We will achieve this by:
- ensuring all staff and students have a clear, shared understanding of what sustainability means
- providing continual and consistent access to appropriate learning opportunities for all staff
- delivering sustainability training to all students throughout their learner journey
Building skills & competencies for a better world
To support delivery, we will ensure that sustainability and active citizenship are embedded across curricula at all levels.
We will achieve this by:
- mainstreaming Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)(UNESCO) across our formal curricula
- aligning ESD skills and competencies with relevant disciplinary standards and accreditations
- supporting students to assess their growth and development in terms of skills and competencies to tackle sustainability challenges
- partnering with external organisations to give our students real-life experience and skill-building opportunities through secondments, placements and graduate opportunities
