Cross-disciplinary Courses
At the initiative of the Rectorate, the University of Geneva has been offering Cross-disciplinary Courses in Sustainable Development for several years. These courses are open to all Bachelor students and, depending on the study plan, may count as elective credits within their curriculum.
> Les fondements de la durabilité (D1)
D1 serves as an introduction to the core concepts of sustainability, based on the idea of a “safe and just space.” A combination of lectures and participatory activities allows students to develop civic, intellectual, and ethical skills that are essential for the transition toward a sustainable society.
> Méthodes et analyses systemiques de la durabilité (D2)
Course number: E2E051
D2 introduces various theoretical and methodological tools that support the systemic analysis of complex socio-ecological situations. It enables students to identify obstacles (sectoral interests, institutional barriers, etc.) as well as levers for action at different levels of governance.
> Ethiques environnementales
This course in philosophical ethics introduces students to the disciplinary field and contemporary issues in environmental ethics. Through case studies, students are invited to engage in applied ethical reflection and collectively explore the normative frameworks needed to address ecological challenges.
