For the first time ever, we are running our Sustainability Summer Programme on campus, delivered by our College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences.
This programme is also a credit bearing programme of one core theme and other optional mini modules to help students explore the concept of sustainability within the realms of STEM and how we can build towards that ultimate goal.
Our programme will give students the chance to learn from keynote speakers who are leaders in their field and work on group projects to learn from and with other students from all over the world and truly gain a global perspective on the issues facing us and the challenge of sustainability. The programme is split into two smaller modules, the first segment will look at practical areas of STEM from engineering to sustainable materials. The second part of the programme will focus on one option from a variety of different specialisms from across the college including Urban Analytics (Computer Science), and Tackling Sustainability Challenges Using Data and Models (Mathematics with delivery from the Centre for Environmental Mathematics). There will also be optional mini modules from Renewable Energy, Engineering and Physics.
The Sustainability Summer Programme will run alongside the International Summer School, providing students with the chance to truly make global connections across all a variety of disciplines that could have an impact far into their future.
As with our International Summer School, students will have the chance to explore London at the start of the trip, with a focus on sustainable practice in the areas they visit, and enjoy field trips to some key areas to the theme of sustainability.
The programme fee for the Sustainability Summer Programme is £2,500 for the entire programme and includes the same elements as the International Summer School; accommodation, transport etc.
