Sustainability Education at SUTD

 

SUTD is committed to providing a comprehensive sustainability education through both formal coursework and experiential learning opportunities, ensuring students are equipped to address real-world sustainability challenges regardless of their degree program.
Courses (Undergraduate, Master and PhD)

SUTD has expanded its efforts in sustainability education and experiential learning. For example, we introduced Science for a Sustainable World, a course designed for the entire student cohort, aimed at providing foundational knowledge in sustainability. Additionally, Design Thinking and Innovation (DTI3007) emphasises hands-on design of spaces and technology aimed at improving the world. On top of these courses, we offer a Sustainability by Design Minor programme, allowing students to delve deeper into sustainability through a more focused curriculum.

 

 

 

Experiential – SUTD FACT (Terms 1 – 3) & Sustainability trips (Terms 4 – 8)

First-year students are given opportunities to participate in trips to Asian countries where they can apply their classroom learning to solve sustainability challenges within the region. The Sustainability Office launched the higher-level SUTD Sustainability Trips for students in Term 4 and above. These trips offer insights into countries with mature sustainability practices, where students explore evolving policies, cultural practices, and success stories compared to Singapore, thus preparing them to lead future sustainability projects.
