Together, let's drive change.
As a university, you’ll want to ensure that graduates leaving your environment and sustainability degree programmes have the right knowledge, skills and tools to deliver value in a global economy. By becoming an ISEP University Partner, you can make sure that your graduates have the expertise and understanding that they need to secure a job and drive change.
To become an Approved ISEP University Partner, universities must ensure that their degree programme(s) align to the content in our ISEP Sustainability Skills Map. Universities will be asked to complete a mapping exercise, highlighting how the course content meets our internationally recognised Graduate standard. Once this has been accepted by one of our assessors, your course(s) will become approved by ISEP and you will become an ISEP University Partner. All University Partners will have access to an Approved University Partner logo, a certificate and presence on our website.
Ensure your graduates entering the sustainability profession are ready for the workplace. A partnership with us offers free ISEP Student membership for all your students on approved programmes, underpinning their studies with an invaluable toolkit of resources. All successful graduates will then have the option to upgrade to Graduate membership and/or accelerate towards enhanced professional recognition with a fast-track application to Practitioner membership.
Engage with ISEP’s networks and steering groups, ideally positioning you to promote and showcase your courses, network with employers and share best practice. Your students will also have the opportunity to connect with environment and sustainability professionals to help them develop their network and gain insights into their chosen profession.
Demonstrate your commitment to putting environment and sustainability management at the heart of your university school or directorate, by profiling the ISEP University Partner logo on your web pages and promotional materials. We’ll also add your logo, bio and link to our website to promote both our affiliation and your approved courses.
Access support from an ISEP representative at an online event each year to ensure that staff and students know how to fully engage with ISEP and make the most out of the partnership. Benefit from regular contact and collaboration with ISEP to continuously develop your teaching materials and curriculum with the help of ISEP’s resources and a complementary Affiliate membership for one member of staff.
We will send round a unique membership access code to University Partners each year. Students will simply need to register for ISEP Student membership and add in their unique access code to activate their free membership.
We are happy to offer a virtual session for students to all of our University Partners each academic year. We can consider in-person requests on a case-by-case basis. This can be on a topic of your choosing, such as a specific onboarding session to meet with your students, to talk about green jobs or representation at a careers fair.
Yes, you can find out more about ISEP Corporate Partnership here. If you are interested, please reach out to your university point of contact.
All approved courses are advertised on our University Partner Register.
Approval is for a year, and so we will email you each year about renewal. After three years, we will ask you to complete the approval process again. If there are any changes to your course, we’d also ask you to let us know.
