About the Diploma

Inspired by Al Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth? With global climate change and rising oil prices, there is a pressing need to find new methods of energy use and conservation – and you could be the one to make a difference with the Diploma in Clean Energy Management (CEM).

This diploma will train you in the key areas of clean energy and energy management so that you are able to address energy issues from both the demand and supply side of things.

You will also get to learn in an exciting and hands-on environment at top-notch facilities, such as our Solar Technology Centre. Here, you may even get to help gather and analyse data on solar energy for a nation-wide project called the Clean Energy Research & Testbedding (CERT) programme!

Finally, an internship with a leading clean energy technology or energy management company, either locally or abroad, will put your knowledge to good use. For example, you may get to go on an internship at Renewable Energy Corporation’s integrated solar production facility in Tuas.

You may also be chosen for exchange programmes with prestigious overseas universities such as Bochum University of Applied Sciences in Germany!

Career Prospects

As a CEM graduate, your job prospects are bright as Singapore gears up to become a global clean energy hub. In fact, the Economic Development Board has projected a need for some 3,500 skilled personnel in the industry over the next few years.

These jobs will come from the environmental and energy sectors, power and utilities companies, university laboratories as well as research and development (R&D) centres. You will be able to work as energy specialists, system integrators and energy auditors, R&D associates and energy management executives.

Alternatively, you could become an entrepreneur who taps on the growing clean energy industry by coming up with new clean energy solutions!

Further Studies

With CEM’s firm foundation in electrical and electronic engineering, you can enrol in engineering courses offered by Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore.

Alternatively, you can pursue a solar or clean energy-related degree at the following overseas universities:

University of New South Wales (Australia)
- Bachelor of Engineering in Photovoltaic & Solar Energy
- Bachelor of Engineering in Renewable Energy Engineering
University of Adelaide (Australia)
- Bachelor of Engineering in Sustainable Energy Engineering
University of Dundee (UK)
- Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy
University of Exeter (UK)
- Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy
Oregon Institute of Technology (USA)
- Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy
University of Otago (New Zealand)
- Bachelor of Applied Science in Energy Management

Here are more details on the degree options and advanced standing at the universities - locally and overseas.

Diploma Plus Programme

The Diploma Plus Programme (DPP) is designed to provide students with adequate proficiency in a selected domain area, either to broaden or deepen a student’s knowledge/skills in his/her main discipline of study, or to equip a student with additional professional knowledge that would better prepare him/her for further study or increase their employability. Students can select elective modules from a wide range of clusters to obtain their Diploma Plus Certificate. DPP is optional and it will not affect the graduating requirement for the award of a diploma.

Students can choose the DPP clusters from the range listed below. The offer of a DPP cluster is subject to the condition that the minimum class size is met and based on available vacancies.

Engineering Clusters

Non-Engineering Clusters

·	Applied Physics *
