Curriculum Requirements for MSc Students admitted from AY2020/21 Semester 1 and 2

The graduation requirements include obtaining a minimum Cumulative Average Point (CAP) of 3.00 (equivalent to an average of Grade of B-) for the best 40 modular credits (MCs), inclusive of core modules, where required. Of the 40 MCs, at least 30 MCs must be at graduate level within the subject or in a related discipline, the remaining credits may be from other levels in the same or other disciplines as approved by the Department. Additional module requirement applies if candidates decide to opt for a specialisation.

In addition, Candidates who did not graduate with a cumulative grade point (CAP) 4.0 or above (or equivalent from an overseas University) in B.Eng. degree in Materials Science & Engineering, or a related discipline (as approved by the Department of Materials Science & Engineering) must complete two compulsory core modules, MLE5001 Structures and Properties of Materials and MLE5002 Materials Characterisation.

Students must pass at least 16 MC from the Materials Engineering Basket of electives.

No more than 12 MC can be selected from the basket of Materials Innopreneurship electives.

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.
