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 2027, we will have the pleasure of offering 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 implications, and how they can be strategically transformed towards sustainability. Some prior knowledge of strategic sustainable development is required, as well as prior university studies.

Introduction courses in Sustainable Development

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

In early fall and early spring, we, along with colleagues from the TISU department, offer 7,5-credit distance courses in English on an introduction to strategic sustainable development. This is a great opportunity to learn about the framework for strategic sustainable development (FSSD), principles that define 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 fulfil the requirements for the course on 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 the BTH campus about strategic leadership towards sustainability. This is highly recommended for anyone with a bachelor's 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.
