Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Sustainability and transition course

At the end of this course, and on the basis of the scientific content presented, students will be able to: 

  • Describe, differentiate and question the dynamics and interactions of the different spheres of the Earth system; 
  • Describe and analyse the interactions between the human and the Earth systems; 
  • Demonstrate the importance of considering the issues of sustainability and transition from a systemic point of view; 
  • Develop a critical and reflective mindset that enables them to analyse current issues; 
  • Use the scientific knowledge base to combat feelings of eco-anxiety; 
This knowledge and these skills will be developed by combining an interdisciplinary approach, essential for understanding and appropriating the various topics, with a disciplinary approach enabling students to relate their own discipline to the issues of sustainability and transition.
