ABSTRACT: This research accents the importance of higher education, which exists for creation and dissemination of knowledge, and its contribution to the societies’ sustainable development, and the role the institutions play in this process by imbedding green courses into their plans of study. Via studying an example of a green course that was integrated into an institution's curriculum and analyzing the course's assessment methods and its learning outcomes, which were aligned to the institution graduate attributes, the paper acknowledges the efforts the higher education institutions make to graduate young people that are equipped with knowledge and practical skills in the corresponding field, and, thus, in formation of a new generation of citizens with a sustainable vision.

KEYWORDS: Higher education, Green curriculum, Graduate’s attributes, Heritage conservation, Sustainable future.
