Specific courses on sustainability
BINUS University demonstrates a proactive approach to sustainability education by offering specific courses and programs:
- Minor Program on Sustainable Development: BINUS University provides a dedicated minor program on “sustainable development.” This program is open to all students, with specific requirements for eligibility. The inclusion of a minor program emphasizes the university’s commitment to integrating sustainability principles across different study programs.
- Embedded Awareness and Introduction to SDGs: In some study programs, BINUS University has integrated awareness and introduction to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the core curriculum. For instance, the Food Technology study program incorporates curriculum design that aligns with SDGs, focusing on “Zero Hunger” and “Good Health and Well-Being.” This approach ensures that students in relevant disciplines are exposed to sustainability concepts from the outset.
These initiatives highlight BINUS University’s efforts to mainstream sustainability education, providing students with the opportunity to engage with and contribute to addressing global challenges outlined in the SDGs.
