Take part in the Student Pathways

Students interested in learning more about social responsibility and sustainability issues can participate in new student pathways, an innovative model which encourages reflective learning.

The Student Pathways promote active student-led learning beyond students' main programmes of study, with opportunities for experiential learning on campus and in the community. Students participating in the pathways will develop their skills, knowledge and graduate attributes.

Interdisciplinary research and learning will be promoted through the pathways, providing students across the University, no matter what their degree, the opportunity to learn more about social responsibility and sustainability issues.

The Student Pathways for the 2019-20 academic year will focus on the Circular Economy, Climate Change and the Sustainable Development Goals. Students will develop their knowledge and communication skills, and will be provided with an opportunity to practically apply their learning. 

Students who participate in the pathways will be recognised for their efforts through the University's Edinburgh Award, if they complete 50 hours worth of activity and reflective learning. The Student Pathways are open to all undergraduate and postgraduate students. Please note that places are limited.
