Abstract
The design and education fields have been starting to pay attention to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ever since 2019, and the following two events would affirm this tendency. Firstly, the committee of the iF Design Award triggered to adopt SDGs as their evaluation standard. Secondly, the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings began to as-sess the performance of 768 universities from 85 countries against SDGs. This reflect a broader consideration towards sustainability has been establishing. Based on the context, this study inquired about the sustainable quality of nine educational institutions of design in China under an advisory committee perspective, which has worked to suggest the future direction of the institution. The researchers made use of comparative methodology to ex-plore each objects’ developing trend and their specialties. After qualitative and quantitative analysis, the researchers have found the limitations involving the diversity, the scale, and the sustainability of these objects, then recommended the corresponding suggestions ex-pecting to create an environment, which would lead design education to a more sustainable future.
