More than one in six people around the world do not have access to safe drinking water. Each year, water-related diseases contribute to four million child deaths. Cyclones, tsunamis and earthquakes wreak havoc with our water sources, create human tragedies and affect food production. As climate change becomes more severe, the situation is expected to worsen. If you are passionate about the environment and water resources, the Diploma in Environmental & Water Technology (EWT) will allow you to help address these problems.

Jointly developed with the PUB, EWT trains you to become specialists in addressing global concerns such as water and marine pollution, air pollution, global warming, ozone depletion, and improper handling of hazardous waste.

Benefit from a good grounding in the five key areas of water technology, waste management and resource conservation, renewable energy, pollution monitoring and control, environmental management, and health and safety.

If you demonstrate good academic performance and active participation in extracurricular activities, you can apply for a bond-free PUB scholarship or a Sembcorp scholarship. 

You will potentially enjoy one year’s exemption when you apply for environmental engineering degrees at Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore. Various overseas universities in Australia, United Kingdom and United States offer advanced standing in related degree courses.

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