Learning sustainability - New project studies on the topic of "sustainable university"

In the Graduate Center's project studies, groups of students work together with lecturers on projects relating to sustainability and the environment. The topics are diverse. In the "Sustainability on the table" project, students learn how to handle food in a way that conserves ecological resources. The "Solarcampus" project provides the necessary knowledge to develop energy-saving concepts.
The project courses can be taken for one study project or several semesters. Participants can also add credit points and grades to their curriculum. In addition, the project will count towards the Environmental Knowledge certificate program and the Environmental Law certificate.
The Graduate Center is offering a total of six project studies in the 2018/19 winter semester. Two of these are new additions:
