Uppsala University (2020) is the oldest university in the Nordic region, founded in
1477. It is ranked among the top 100 universities in the world with more than 40,000
students and 5000 researchers and teachers conducting world-leading research. The
university is quite conventional and has not been known for its sustainability efforts,
but still has several initiatives around the issues such as;
(1) CEMUS, a student-led centre for environment and development studies,
(2) SWEDESD, an international centre of Education for Sustainable Development,
and
(3) Zennström professorship, a 10-year series of international visiting professors
that are in the forefront of climate change leadership research (UU official
website).
At Uppsala University, The Department of Business Studies was formally
launched in 1958, but carries a tradition of Business Studies at the University dating
back to the eighteenth century. It is one of the biggest departments at the university, with about 3500 students every year and 150 employees (UU official website).
The university has a small campus on the island of Gotland. At Campus Gotland,
the department has a small unit, facilitating one bachelor program and one master
program, where the master level is focused on sustainability.
The master program, called Sustainable Management, started in 2013 and has
constantly been in development for sustainable development since then, with Liberal
Arts approach towards teaching and learning. However, the program is a part of a
bigger and more traditional department that remains within the scope of disciplinary
boundaries where management, organization, finance, marketing and international
business are the main subjects. This means that even if the program on Campus
Gotland focuses on sustainability it has remained a program of management and
organization.
