Education & Research

We want to empower a new generation of changemakers who are committed to sustainability and equipped with the skills to drive positive change.

Igniting interest in students

By integrating sustainability topics into our competency-based curriculum, we enable our students to understand the interconnectedness of environmental, social, and economic factors, all while honing their critical thinking skills.

 

Besides core curriculum and electives, about 1 in 2 final year projects will be sustainability projects, or minimally include sustainability elements in the project. This gives our Year Three students who opt to do final year projects greater opportunities to delve deep into sustainability topics and work with industry partners for solutioning. 

 

NYP graduates will be well-prepared to pursue careers in the expanding sustainability sector, serving as flagbearers for positive change.

Upskilling and empowering professionals

Campus Operations

We support our nation's green ambitions as outlined in the Singapore Green Plan, innovating design and technologies within public sector targets to enhance energy efficiency while aiming for net zero emissions.

 

To transform NYP into a smart and green campus, we are working on key areas such as:

  • Energy consumption: Boosting efficiency with technology like motion-sensor lighting and digital twins for real-time monitoring.
  • Water consumption: Implementing strategies such as water leak detection, eco-friendly dining options, and food digesters to manage waste effectively.
  • Health & Wellness: Promoting community well-being through dedicated wellness spaces and continuous air quality monitoring.

Leadership & Governance

NYP's leaders steer our sustainability efforts, making sure they match our goals and values.

 

At the helm is the Sustainability Advisory Committee, led by Chairman of our NYP Board of Governors. The committee is supported by industry experts, so that we can gain valuable inputs for our sustainability journey.

 

Internally, we also have the NYP Sustainability Steering Committee (STSC). It steers our efforts with our stakeholders to achieve our targets. 

 

We prioritise sustainability by ensuring our policies and procedures align with established guidelines. Initiatives at NYP include eliminating disposable cutlery at events, providing public transport directions to NYP, and implementing paperless registrations.
