Since 2021, we have introduced a sustainability course in our common interdisciplinary core curriculum (ICC) for all undergraduates. This course aims to develop students with the critical skills to collaborate across disciplines to systematically analyze major sustainability challenges from the perspectives of society, economy, and the environment. Students will learn to address sustainability issues from different viewpoints and at different scales. They will then use these skills to discuss and propose solutions for sustainability challenges facing Singapore and the world.
Building on this foundation, NTU offers various undergraduate programmes with different aspects of sustainability incorporated in their curriculum. We also offer sustainability-themed programmes in Environmental Engineering and Environmental Earth Systems Science. In addition, students from other degree programmes with interest in sustainability may also enrol in our 2nd Majors or Minors related to this area.

This new second major provides students with the foundation and practical tools for understanding the concepts of sustainability and applying them to real world scenarios. It is designed to follow on sympathetically from the ICC course “Sustainability: Society, Economy and Environment”. The curriculum will be structured according to the three traditional pillars of sustainability: Society, Environment and Economy, colloquially known as People, Planet and Profit. At NTU, the students will then apply this knowledge through two additional pillars of Practice and Policy.
For our admission requirements, please refer to the following links:
