Sustainability Education

Education is the key enabler of creating a sustainable world for future generations. At NTU, we seek to incorporate sustainability education for students at different stages of their learning journey, through relevant courses or programmes, to provide them with the foundation and practical tools for understanding the concepts of sustainability and applying them to solve real world problems.

Undergraduate Programmes

Since 2021, we have introduced a sustainability course in our common interdisciplinary core curriculum 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.

Postgraduate Programmes

NTU is pioneering a new push in PhD education that will tear down barriers and drive research into areas that need a multi-disciplinary approach. In keeping with global trends and needs, students at the Interdisciplinary Graduate Programme at NTU will concentrate on two or more disciplines, instead of one. Today, fresh thinking is urgently needed to mitigate many global challenges, not least in environmental sustainability, the creation of viable alternative energy solutions, and many other wide-ranging and complex issues.
