Abstract Problem statement: With Higher Education for Sustainable Development (HESD) being an innovative approach to educational change, its principal objective is studentsâ?? development of transformation competencies. However, HESD evaluations hardly consider studentsâ?? perspectives. This study presents a study that examined undergraduate studentsâ?? view on the HESD approach at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg (Germany) and aims at shedding light on their acceptance and perceptions of such an HESD learning setting. Approach: For this purpose, two corresponding surveys were carried out that analyzed the impact of such a curriculum design on undergraduate students of the 2nd and 4th semester. Results: A high rate of 75.4% of the undergraduate students indicated their commitment towards the Leuphana University study model. Simultaneously they showed a sophisticated understanding of the concept of sustainability and agreed with the values associated.
