Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore how Work Integrated Learning (WIL) as pedagogical approach advances students’ life-long learning for a sustainable future. It addresses the research question: How can WIL enhance students’ transformative competencies for sustainability? The empirical focus lies on the development of a sustainabilityoriented WIL at the master’s programme in Business Administration at Kristianstad University. Based on the results, this paper suggests a sustainability-oriented WIL model showing how sustainable development can be embraced in higher education while fostering transformative competencies that have both direct and indirect beneficial impacts.
