Courses with SDG Focus and Relevance
The evaluation of the 2023/2024 winter semester shows that 709, or 17.8 percent, of all 3,980 courses surveyed have a connection to at least one (and a maximum of three) SDGs. Of these, 3.8 percent (153) have an explicit sustainability focus – this is the first time such courses have been offered in accordance with the priority model of sustainability, which gives greater weight to ecological limits as a basis for societal action.
The Department of Geosciences offered the most courses with a sustainability focus (83), closely followed by the Department of Biology, Chemistry, and Pharmacy (78). The Department of Political and Social Sciences taught the most courses with SDG references (132), followed by the departments already mentioned above. The most frequently addressed SDG was SDG 10 (Combating Inequality and Discrimination), followed by SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) and SDG 4 (Quality Education).
