Grado y Doble Grado. Curso 2025/2026.

Cuadro general de la estructura del plan de estudios

The programme has a duration of three years (180 ECTS) and spread over six semesters:


- In the initial common semesters (1-2), students cover foundational courses introducing multidisciplinary topics regarding sustainability, introduction to the different disciplines involved in sustainability, and essential methodology and language subjects for comprehensive international training. These courses will be organised on campus at the host university (Jagielloński w Krakowie) to facilitate enrolment and integration of the students and the direct interaction with the teachers.
- As a continuation, students will dedicate three semesters (3, 4 and 5) to complete their track specialization. There are six tracks in total, and each is coordinated by one of the Degree Awarding Partners: Chemistry & Physics (coordinated by the University of Helsinki); Environmental & Life Sciences (coordinated by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid); Economy & Geography (coordinated by the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne); Economics, Management & Engineering (coordinated by the KU Leuven); Law & Politics of Sustainability track (coordinated by the Jagiellonian University); and Social Sciences & Humanities (coordinated by the University of Zurich).
- The final semester of the programme is intended for the finalisation and presentation of the bachelor’s thesis. Additionally, it allows for the optional mobility of the students, should they wish to spend it at a university different than their track university, including the universities acting as Mobility Partners (Freie Universität Berlin and University of Edinburgh).
