Higher starting salaries and strong employment prospects for NUS Engineering graduates

Graduates from NUS Engineering continued to enjoy strong employment rates and earned higher starting salaries in 2019, according to the Joint Autonomous Universities Graduate Employment Survey (JAUGES) 2019.

Graduates from four NUS Engineering programmes; namely, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, as well as Materials Science and Engineering, saw their gross monthly median starting salary hit $4,000. Close behind are graduates from Chemical Engineering, with gross monthly median starting salary of $3,950.

Overall, engineering graduates in Singapore commanded above average starting salaries, second only to graduates from information and digital technologies. At NUS Engineering, we prepare all our graduates with fundamental computing and information technology (IT) skills to meet the demands of industry. We also offer specialisations in digital technologies specific to different engineering disciplines, so that our graduates are ready for the workplace.
