The course consists of weekly lectures by researchers from different fields. These lectures provide you with a broad view of the SDGs, its many interrelations and an array of scientific perspectives with which to study the SDGs. Next to this lecture series, you will work in small multi-disciplinary groups on an assignment relating several SDGs to each other, with a very open final product. This project will be graded to form 50% of your final grade. The other 50% of your final grade will be based on an individual paper on a cluster of SDGs of your choice using one of the scientific perspectives introduced by the lecturers.
The course is intended for bachelor students (roughly 3rd year level) from all study programmes with lecturers from multiple faculties.
