Education

Are you interested to learn more about transitions to full sustainability? Our team is involved in, and responsible for, several courses open for international students at BTH. Below is an excerpt of these courses where strategic sustainable development is the core theme.

Strategic Sustainable Development of Energy & Transport Systems

In fall 2026, we will have the pleasure to offer a new distance course in English about sustainable energy and transport systems. The aim of the course is to develop the student’s knowledge and understanding of current energy & transport systems, their sustainability consequences, and how they can be transformed strategically to sustainability. Some previous knowledge about strategic sustainable development is required, as well as earlier university studies.

Introduction courses in Sustainable Development

Foundations for Strategic Sustainable development, 7,5 cr (SL2567)

In early fall and early spring, we and colleagues at the TISU department offer 7,5 credit distance courses in English about introduction to strategic sustainable development. This is a great opportunity to learn about the framework for strategic sustainable development (FSSD), principles that defines sustainability, and the ABCD-approach to guide planning towards sustainability.

Introduction to Strategic Sustainable Development, 3 cr (SL2568)

The purpose of this self-paced introduction course is for the students to acquire basic knowledge of strategic sustainable development, just enough to fulfill the requirements for the course about sustainable energy- and transport systems.

Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability,
60 cr

The TISU department hosts a 1-year international master’s program in English on BTH campus about strategic leadership towards sustainability. This is highly recommended for anyone with a bachelor degree who would like to know more about how to support a transition to global sustainability by creating and implementing economically beneficial development of products, systems, organisations and societies.
