Are you ready to take action on some of the biggest issues facing the world today? The Ethical Grand Challenges (EGCs) are now open in Blackboard for all undergraduate and postgraduate taught students, giving you the chance to develop a deeper understanding of key global challenges while enhancing your university experience.  

EGC offers an opportunity to explore…

🌍 Sustainability Challenge – The Sustainability Challenge will no longer be available after the 2024/5 academic year. Feel empowered to take action on sustainability issues that matter most to you before it’s too late!

⚖️ Social Justice Challenge – Stand up for human rights and fight against discrimination, helping to build a fairer, more inclusive society.  

💼 Workplace Ethics Challenge – Prepare for your future career by navigating real-world ethical dilemmas and learning how to make responsible decisions at work.  

Why take the EGCs?

✔️ Engaging learning experience – Through a mix of interactive online content, you’ll gain insights into real-world ethical issues.  

🏆 Work towards the Stellify Award – By completing two out of three challenges, you’ll be one step closer to achieving the Stellify Award, a prestigious recognition of your commitment to making a difference.  

🔑 Develop skills – Employers value socially responsible graduates. Engaging with EGCs will help you build critical thinking, problem-solving, and ethical decision-making skills that will benefit you long after university.
