The following mechanisms are used by the Sustainability and Resilience Institute (SRI) to deliver eduction across the University.
The cross-university interdisciplinary module ‘Global Sustainability Challenges’ for years 2 and 3 undergraduates is delivered in partnership with the SRI. The Deputy-Director of SRI, Professor Simon Kemp, is the module lead. He demonstrates how students can work with the SRI to address sustainability challenges through the module lecture content and workshop activities.
