Abstract
The importance of sustainability and entrepreneurship education is highlighted in this study. The world economies are facing significant challenges as they try to enable the transition towards more sustainable economic and business models. Therefore, at the centre of the transition process, it is critical to consider the role that business education can play and, more specifically, the role of business schools in integrating and supporting the development of skills and competencies that align with our contemporary society's needs. In this paper, we initially assess the need to connect entrepreneurial and sustainability education by exploring the educational offerings at Technological University Dublin, the first Irish Technological University created in 2019 due to merging three institutes of technologies with a long teaching history and connection to industry. The research findings indicate that the University's educational offer is defined by its wide range of entrepreneurship programmes, with a diverse offer available to students focused on fostering the development of creativity, design thinking, and sustainability. The importance of Education for Sustainable Development as part of business education programmes is highlighted in the study to support the need for educational models that provide guidelines that connect business practices with the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda to promote economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.
