Thematic Learning Area Sustainability
The TLA Sustainability compiles with a central focus on sustainability. Courses within this TLA encourage students to contextualize technological innovation and understand sustainability from a variety of different perspectives. These include human, social, and environmental perspectives, and are related to themes of health, energy, mobility, economics, planning and data science. The aim of this TLA is for students to learn to take responsibility and seek regenerative answers to far-reaching and long-lasting grand societal challenges.

We recommend different trajectories based on your degree program and based on your own personal interests. If you are a student from Sustainable Innovation (SI), you might already have attended most Sustainability Core Courses, and you may want to consider other TLAs or the other recommended courses. If you are enrolled in any other study program other than IE&IS, we have tailored several other choices based on your fields of interest.
