Abstract: The development of society, at present, has demanded an increasingly robust analysis of sustainability, in social, ecological, economic, political and educational spheres, the latter being key for the design of sustainable curricula by educational institutions of higher education. However, in the literature there are limited articles that consolidate existing knowledge, so the objective is to identify trends in research on the role of sustainability in university curricula. For this, a bibliometric analysis is carried out based on the PRISMA parameters. Among the main findings, the authors Lozano R and Azeiteiro UM are determined as the academic references, and that have allowed identifying the trends of the subject towards sustainable development and its incidence in the teaching-learning processes, which, in turn, it demands inter and multidisciplinary analysis, as emerging concepts that need future research.
