A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution, including how each program addresses the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainability:
Sustainability and Environmental Justice in Europe: Signature Seminar designed for students before they arrive for their semester abroad at SU London. Students travel as a group to discover how innovation is keeping the Nordic countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland ranked as the most sustainable places on the planet. The concepts and practices of sustainability and critical geographies are introduced to enable students to see how progress towards sustainable development goals made here compares to other parts of the region and the world. The academic field of environmental justice is also examined so that students can assess whether this progress is still enough to ensure all life can flourish. Also: Study abroad in Florence with a focus on sustainable urbanism and immersive experience working in an edible food garden. Courses include Eco-City Europe; Sustainable Urbanism in Europe; Sustainability in Civil and Environmental Systems; Farm to Fork; Feeding the City; Environment and Development
