Giving you that something xtra

Work on industry-based projects at the Centre of Innovation in Environmental & Water Technology
Established reputation with more than 25 years of experience in environmental engineering education
Supported by the National Environment Agency (NEA) and the Public Utilities Board (PUB)
Scholarship options include: PUB's bond-free scholarships and, Sembcorp Industries scholarships with prospects of employment upon graduation.

About the Diploma

Did you know that more than one in six people around the world do not have access to safe drinking water? And water-related diseases contribute to four million child deaths every year?

If you want to solve global problems like these, then the Diploma in Environmental & Water Technology (EWT) will help you understand these challenges and find environmentally friendly solutions for them.

Jointly developed with the PUB and endorsed by the NEA, this course will train you to become a specialist in addressing problems such as water and marine pollution, air pollution, climate change and improper waste handling.

With more than 25 years of experience in teaching environmental engineering, we have a well-established Centre of Innovation in Environmental & Water Technology (COI EWT). Here, you will be able to work alongside research engineers on industry-based projects or take up a Diploma Plus Programme in Environmental Innovations!

Career Prospects

Did you know that the number of jobs in the environmental and water industry will double to more than 11,000 by 2015?

With your skills, you will be well prepared to take advantage of this boom and find employment with government agencies, statutory boards, multinational corporations, university laboratories and research institutes.

Possible careers include working as environmental technologists, research assistants, engineering assistants, water treatment specialists, and many more.

You will also graduate with an additional certification as a Noise Monitoring Officer.

Further Studies

With this diploma, you may be granted one year’s exemption when you apply for environmental engineering degree programmes at the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University.

Various overseas universities in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States also offer advanced standing with related degree courses.

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