A summary of an HEA-funded ESD project completed in 2009.
This project aimed to assess the impact that embedding sustainable development (SD) into the curriculum had on students’ awareness of both sustainability and environmental issues and how this related to their future employability. The project compared approaches taken in both Computer Science modules and in Career Management Skills modules provided by the University of Hull Careers Service for undergraduate and postgraduate students across the institution. The outcomes of the project will be used to inform approaches to embedding sustainability skills within the curriculum.
