鈥淲e have quietly been working to incorporate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our programmes. Every UC graduate is made aware of sustainability solutions relevant to their discipline and can contribute in their area. It鈥檚 fantastic to see this work recognised by QS,鈥 says Professor Jan Evans-Freeman, Amorangi Toit奴 | Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Sustainability.聽
At UC, students thrive through learning with leading sustainability experts such as Professor Bronwyn Hayward, who is a coordinating lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Professor Simon Kingham, who is the first Chief Science Advisor for the Ministry of Transport, Distinguished Professor David Schiel, marine resources advisor, and many others.
Students are increasingly seeking study options that will enable them to negotiate a changing world and make a difference, whether in engineering, education, political science, arts or science. At UC they can find innovative, sustainability-focused degrees, including the Social and Environmental Sustainability, Disaster Risk and Resilience, Environmental Science, Forest Engineering, Renewable Energy, Urban Resilience and Renewal, and Youth and Community Leadership.
