Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with Second Major in Sustainability

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:

(a) Foundation in People, Planet and Profit

(b) Application to Practice and Policy

(c) Advanced Electives in Sustainability
