How we teach matters. We are educating the next generation of scientists, engineers, clinicians and economists, empowering them with the skills they need to work towards a more sustainable world.
Our portfolio of sustainability courses is designed to equip our students with the knowledge and understanding to become leaders in their fields. We are building on this foundation by making knowledge and skills for sustainability central to all learning at Imperial.

Opportunities for students
Opportunities for Staff
Our aim is to provides all staff with the knowledge and skills they need to have a positive impact on the environment, whether in their role as Imperial employees, as members of the community or at home. Staff are encouraged to take part in at least one of a variety of climate change education offerings. Our bespoke Climate Literacy programme can be tailored to specific teams or roles and incorporated into an away day for team building events.
