Figure 1.
The visual presents a horizontal timeline from 2019 to 2022 structured into three sections titled foundations, derivations of competencies, and curriculum. Under foundations, the steps listed are literature review, institutional expertise, and expert workshop and working group meetings with n equals 6, leading to graduate trajectories and a draft competence model. Under derivations of competencies, graduate trajectories inform expert workshops at C D E and L E A D Uni B E with n equals 3, resulting in 33 competencies and three qualification profiles, followed by alignment with a unified framework of competencies for advancing sustainability transformations. Under curriculum, co-design workshops for modules and courses at C D E and L E A D Uni B E with n equals 4 lead to curricular implementation of a unified framework, 9 modules forming a spiral curriculum, and a module handbook describing constructive alignment at meso and micro level. A legend explains symbols for knowledge production activity, key references, methods or approaches used, and intermediate products.Iterative, multi-step process for designing the Master’s in Sustainability Transformations curriculum. Starting from literature review, institutional expertise and expert workshops, competencies were derived through backcasting and refined via co-design workshops. The process was aligned with the unified framework of competencies for advancing sustainability transformations (Redman and Wiek, 2021) and resulted in a coherent, spiral-curriculum structure with nine modules
