Student Experience
The Leadership for Sustainable Development programme at Queen's University Belfast of three eight-week placements in the NGO, governance and business and finance sectors can be carried out locally or internationally.
These aim to help students become sustainable development 'champions' who can identify and address problems of sustainability in innovative ways and further mainstream sustainable development across all sectors and at all levels.
The year-long group project requires several students to work with an organisation of their choice to explore sustainable solutions to a specific problem.
