Do the figures reported above cover one, two, or three academic years?:
A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
Modules were identified as sustainability focused/related by method of a word search for 49 key word stems, which were applied to all active and approved modules. Modules were assigned first to undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Indicative content, Learning Outcomes and Module descriptions were reviewed where provided, to provide a more detailed assessment of the extent of sustainability education delivered at NUI Galway. The information provided was summarised according to the level of sustainability related content.
Further detail can be seen in attached report (pdf). This pdf is a report from an older revision of this inventory, so the number of modules reported is less than in the attached excel file, which is the newest revision. The methodology is the same however.
How were courses with multiple offerings or sections counted for the figures reported above?:
A brief description of how courses with multiple offerings or sections were counted:
2 modules are available to both PG & UG, meaning there are 264 unique modules which are sustainability focused/related, while if you add up the total PG & UG modules above there is a total of 266.
