Abstract
Central to the strategic vision of the University of Leeds is the reaffirmation of the University’s commitment to provide an exceptional student experience centred on inspirational learning and teaching, grounded in world-class research. A key component of this vision is a major curriculum enhancement project. This chapter outlines the intent of this project, which reinforces existing provision that challenges undergraduate students to broaden their academic horizons and develop their capacity for critical thought. The chapter explores the project’s implications for sustainability education and notes the mutually reinforcing effects of the Curriculum Enhancement Project and a range of other institutional initiatives, including the staff-student Education for Sustainable Development Network, and groups reviewing the university’s own environmental impacts
