All University of Reading students have the opportunity to develop an informed understanding of the environmental and wider sustainability challenges the world faces.
In addition to key modules embedded in programmes on climate change and sustainability, we offer an optional module, Science of Climate Change, aimed at all students, not just those studying the sciences. Students can learn directly from our worldwide experts about why the climate is changing, how to avoid the most devastating consequences, and how to adapt as the planet warms.
Preparing for the future
That's just the start: we're working to embed curricular opportunities for all students, regardless of subject, to engage with transformative change, enabling lifelong critical thinking and reflection on the environmental, social, and economic challenges they will face, both within their programme and beyond.
A Reading graduate will have an appreciation of multiple perspectives and diversity to make well-informed, ethical decisions and to integrate social and civic responsibility, including the ability to collaborate effectively and adapt to different work or study contexts. We will support all our students in exploring global citizenship within the context of their discipline and their future professional and personal lives.
We are driven to ensure that our students are empowered to positively contribute to finding sustainable solutions in their lives, professions and communities.
