Transfaculty Cross Section Program Sustainable Development (TQNE)
Transfakultäres Querschnittsprogramm Nachhaltige Entwicklung

Students from all degree programs of the University of Basel (from 3d semester on) may participate in the Transfaculty Cross Section Program Sustainable Development (TQNE).
Students are introduced to sustainable development in four different courses. They acquire the ability to distinguish a variety of natural, social and economic aspects of sustainability. The participants learn to recognize interactions between these aspects and to reflect critically on themselves. Methods that are suitable for interdisciplinary contexts are presented and practiced in an appropriate framework. For more information see info sheet.

Students have to send an email to coordination-msd@unibas.ch, attach their official final degree transcript (= list of all attended courses) incl. final degree diploma and indicate their address (the certificate will be sent by postage) and matriculation number.
