Three-in-one green themes, regardless of faculty or major
What are green initiatives? What are the practical issues of sustainability? These are the questions that the "Effective Sustainability" group of subjects will answer. The subjects are developed by three universities – the University of Miskolc, the University of Szeged and the University of Sopron – can be taken as optional courses by every full-time BA/BSc or MA/MSc student. Students from the three universities study together in each course, regardless of their degree programme.
The theoretical knowledge can be acquired from digital units, so-called learning molecules, which can be flexibly adapted to your knowledge and learning pace. The practical part of the courses will be delivered through cooperative projects. In cooperative groups, the student becomes an expert in the subject and gains knowledge in a creative way, where the emphasis is on collaboration.
The following cooperative courses are offered, including two in English:
- Geoparks, geotourism (in English) - basics of geotourism, geoparks and earth sciences.
- Effective water resource management (in English) - Factors endangering the provision of clean drinking water and related solutions.- threats to the provision of clean drinking water and known solutions
