Module Requirements
Each MSc student is required to complete 40 modular credits (MC), equivalent to 10 modules (assuming 4 MC per module), before graduation. Among these 10 modules, the 2 Core modules are compulsory. The rest of the 8 modules can be all from the Elective modules list, or with maximum 2 non-core non-elective (NCE) modules. Only postgraduate modules (Level 5000 and 6000) within Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Science can be considered as NCE modules.

Tuition Fee
Tuition Fees payable is dependent on your nationality, your academic load of full-time or part-time study and also, whether you had previously enjoyed a Ministry of Education (MOE)/Singapore government subsidy or sponsorship by a government agency. More information can be found here.
Tuition fee subsidy for Singaporean and Singapore Permanent Resident will also cease after normal candidature period (3 semesters for full-time students and 5 semesters for part-time students).
Please be informed that the Service Obligation Scheme for international students will not be available for students admitted to Department of Materials Science and Engineering from Academic Year 2019/2020 Semester 1 onwards.
