In the video below, two international students tell us how this way of learning has made their studies especially insightful and rewarding.

Liam Carpenter-Urquhart, from the US, recently graduated from the Master’s programme in Social-Ecological Resilience for Sustainable Development, while Bonnie McLean, from Australia, completed the Master’s courses in cultural evolution that will be given 100 percent online for the first time starting in 2024.

Along with their teachers, they explain why tackling climate change demands a broad range of expertise, and why digital memes have more in common with stone tools than you might think.
