Curriculum For Life

What if every student at the University of Glasgow had the opportunity to engage in a curriculum that contains opportunity for work-related and experiential learning, that explores and addresses societal challenges such as climate action, sustainability and social justice?

Curriculum for Life (C4L), is a futures-oriented suite of courses in which students will engage in solutions-focused education that tackles global challenges in an uncertain world, in particular sustainability, healthy and equitable futures, and technological change.  Our teaching will be inspired and informed by our research expertise, so that we are continually pushing boundaries and addressing uncertainty within our programmes, to prepare students for the future world they will face. Interdisciplinary research projects that involve students in our research, will be a key part of this portfolio along with experiential learning opportunities that support application of their research and their learning. We will revise our programmes so that all students are able to access this portfolio as Curriculum for Life becomes integrated into each of our degree programmes.  

In the Academic Year 2026/2027, C4L courses will be available to Year 2 undergraduate students in the College of Arts & Humanities, Year 2 MA Social Science students, Year 1 and 2 BSc students in the College of Science & Engineering, and Year 1 and 2 BSc Psychology and Life Science students in the College of Medical, Veterinary, and Life Sciences.
