Shell supports tertiary education through the following programmes. |
|
| 1. Masters of Science Environmental Management Programme, School of Design and Environment, National University of Singapore | The Masters of Science Environmental Management Programme (MEM) is a multi-disciplinary integrated programme at graduate level, to provide education in environmental management for senior and mid-level managers and officers in corporations, institutions, government and non-government organizations, both in Singapore and in the Asia-Pacific region.
Shell regards Health Safety and Environment as paramount and we continuously strive to achieve and maintain high standards and continuous improvement in these areas. These aspects are integral to the course content of MEM, resulting in a great deal of synergy between Shell and the MEM programme. In addition, both Shell and MEM have an interest in research and development, as well as education and awareness in these areas.
Shell has opened its doors for course participants to work on company-related projects to get a first hand experience of applying the training and instruction they receive from the course curriculum. These stints with the company also provide a realistic perspective of environmental management in industrial/commercial practice.
