A hands-on interdisciplinary module for all students.
What is the Sustainability Clinic?
The Sustainability Clinic is an elective York Interdisciplinary Module (YIM) offered in partnership between Environmental Sustainability at York (ESAY), Careers and Placements, and the Department of Environment and Geography. The module brings together students and our local community to tackle pressing sustainability issues. Working in teams, students are given a project brief that has been co-produced with an organisation, business or charity, focusing on a sustainability challenge.
All projects are designed to develop students’ employability skills while helping local organisations find solutions to a real-life sustainability problem that matters to them. Problems focus on a wide range of topics, including: biodiversity; education; sustainable business, policy and regulation; and heritage and culture.
