This self-paced online short course fast tracks an understanding of sustainable healthcare. In a time when the impacts of climate change, planetary and human health are crucial to our daily lives, there is a rapidly growing need to understand the health sector’s contribution to the environmental and climate crises. The course equips participants with foundational knowledge of planetary health, and an understanding of the urgent need to reorient our health systems by focusing on rapid decarbonisation and transition to circular economy principles.

This 8-week online course teaches students to master the science behind behaviour change and understand how to make a lasting impact. Students will learn from our qualified behavioural scientists who combine their expert knowledge with a variety of practical tools to help understand how to apply behavioural science principles to create meaningful change.

This course is for those who are new to behaviour change and would like to gain a broad understanding of exploring, deep diving, and applying behavioural science methods, tools and techniques for social impact.

I've really enjoyed the format and mix of eBooks and videos, interactive questions, quizzes and discussion forums. I thought it worked wonderfully well in and made for an engaging learning experience.

Honestly, this course was great! I really appreciated the ability to learn at your own pace. My full-time work was in an intense high-pressure period so being able to catch up and go back to review content as needed was ideal for me.
