Leadership and Sustainability: A multi-disciplinary approach
This course bring together students to learn about several aspects of Leadership and Sustainability, from across the disciplines. The course will offer the opportunity for international students to attend UEA as summer term visitors, to learn from academic experts whose research and teaching focuses on leadership and finding solutions to global challenges.
Students will develop academic and presentation skills, immerse in academic discussions and assessment outputs, and develop skills for networking, constructive argument and debating, developing confidence and gaining skills for graduate employability. They will do these by focusing on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, taking in multi and cross disciplinary perspectives from the social and political sciences, to health, the environment and the humanities.
The module is offered as a four-week course, Block A (2-weeks) primarily focussing on Leadership, and Block B (2-weeks) primarily focussing on Sustainability. Students will study for 4-weeks (Block A and B). Topics you will focus on include UEA’s key sustainability targets, and will be delivered from staff engaged in leaderships and/or sustainability from across the faculties. Some of the indicative topics are global mental health, creativity and sustainability, sustainability and gender, sustainable heritage, sustainability and computing, and global environmental justice.
