This website is intended to support and expand courses on nuclear disarmament with a considerable natural science component, aimed at students of natural sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics, but also of social sciences and humanities. We want to systematically collect information about existing courses and make it available to other lecturers who may be interested in taking up such teaching. On this website, you can find syllabi of past courses, kindly provided by the respective lecturers. Please contact the lecturer(s) for more information on a specific course. This list will be expanded.
If you are interested in courses that focus on a political science approach, see, e.g., the teaching resources offered by the EU Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Consortium.
