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.
Interdisciplinary Core Curriculum (ICC) Courses
Sustainability-Related Undergraduate Degrees
Bachelor of Computing (Hons) in Computer Science with a Second Major in Sustainability
The unique feature this programme lies in its powerful interdisciplinary approach, which integrates rigorous training in computing with a broad, holistic framework for understanding sustainability. This collaboration between the College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS) and the Asian School of the Environment (ASE) goes beyond a purely environmental focus, addressing sustainability through the five interconnected pillars of People, Planet, Profit, Practice, and Policy. The program uniquely positions students to use their technical skills to develop real-world, technology-based solutions for complex sustainability challenges, culminating in an interdisciplinary capstone project where they apply their knowledge to a specific issue. This hands-on, cross-disciplinary experience prepares graduates to innovate responsibly, drive positive change, and lead the charge toward a more sustainable future.
Applicants must meet NTU’s undergraduate admissions criteria, which include:
- Good academic results in GCE ‘A’ Levels, IB Diploma, NUS High School Diploma, or Polytechnic Diploma (or equivalent)
- A strong foundation in Mathematics or Physics or Computing
👉 View the NTU Admissions Guide for the full list of accepted qualifications.
Students with certain qualifications may receive exemptions from selected courses.
👉View the Course Exemption Website for details.
The Computer Science programme is structured as a full-time, 4 year direct honours degree with a blend of core modules, electives, and projects, designed to provide strong foundations alongside applied skills.
Students undertake a balanced mix of core modules, electives, and projects, designed to ensure strong foundations and applied skills.
👉 View the Curriculum Structure.Graduates of this programme are well-prepared for careers at the intersection of technology and environmental impact. With strong computing skills and a deep understanding of sustainability, they are highly sought after in roles such as Sustainable Software Engineer, AI/ML Engineer, ESG Analyst, or Environmental Data Scientist. They may also serve as Green Tech or IT Consultants or work in policy and strategy roles within government and non-profits. Their ability to blend technical innovation with sustainable thinking makes them valuable contributors to the growing green economy.
