The SMU Master of Sustainability (MST) programme delivers an inter-disciplinary curriculum, drawing on the breadth of domains across SMU schools to prepare students for current and future jobs in the green economy. Through the MST, students will engage in learning about the sustainable use of organisational and natural resources in service of socially equitable outcomes through an emphasis on essential core skills in sustainability reasoning, communication, coordination, and management. They would also gain familiarity with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the fundamentals of Singapore's Green Plan 2030. Recognising the dynamic nature of sustainability roles across various sectors, the programme is led by the School of Social Sciences and College of Integrative Studies to prepare students for thriving careers in the green economy.
