PROGRAMMES

Our research-based programmes offer specialised training through independent study and experimental work, culminating in a thesis submission. Students have excellent opportunities to immerse themselves in a vibrant research environment across any of our departments while pursuing a research degree.

Coursework-based programmes are designed for university graduates who wish to advance their knowledge and careers in their chosen field of specializations. Both part-time and full-time options are available, with a vibrant mix of working professionals and fresh graduates in the student body.

Graduate certificates provide students the opportunity to refresh and expand their expertise in specific areas, thereby enhancing their competitive edge in the job market. These programmes are shorter in duration, and some of them can be stacked toward a master's degree.

Collaborative programmes offer a range of opportunities designed to broaden academic and professional horizons. These include double degree options, collaborative PhD initiatives, student exchange programmes, joint degree opportunities, and internships.

Prospective Graduate Programmes at NUS cater to undergraduate and master's students worldwide, focusing on identifying and nurturing motivated, high-achieving individuals. These programmes offer immersive research experiences and a unique glimpse into graduate studies and life at NUS.
