Teaching at the Kassel Institute
In addition to research, the focus of the Institute is on the (further-)development of teaching and courses related to sustainability. This institutionalized unity of research and teaching distinguishes the Kassel Institute from a large number of purely research-based sustainability institutes.
That is already possible
New degree programs with sustainability
Since the 2025/26 winter semester, there have been many new bachelor's and master's degree programs related to sustainability at the University of Kassel.
