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.

Bachelor of Science in Environmental Earth Systems Science with Second Major in Entrepreneurship
This programme equips students with fundamental entrepreneurship competency, which broadens their understanding of enterprise and innovation and enriches them with an entrepreneurial mindset to deal with uncertainties in the VUCA world and be the driver of technology innovation. Furthermore, this programme provides students with hands-on experience in technopreneurship through an experiential learning approach and 20-week local/overseas internship with start-ups, venture capital firms, and other entrepreneurship related organisations. This allows the students to expand their network, be part of the entrepreneurship ecosystem, and seize the opportunities from new technologies and place special emphasis on technopreneurship.
The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Earth Systems Science with 2nd Major in Entrepreneurship programme accepts ‘A’ Level, IB, NUSHS Diploma, Polytechnic Diploma and other equivalent international qualifications on a selective basis. All candidates with strong academic potential who satisfy minimum subject requirements as well as the general admission requirements set by NTU will be considered.
