Why MSE Makes the Difference

LEARN FROM NOBEL LAUREATE AND WORLD EXPERTS IN CUTTING EDGE MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

Our department leads research in exciting  areas of Advanced Manufacturing, Bio-inspired Materials, 2D materials, Edge Computing and Computational Materials. These innovations and materials technologies play essential roles to advance cutting-edge electronic devices and artificial Intelligence. We were ranked 4^th for Teaching (Times Higher Education 2020) and 3^rd for Employer Reputation (QS ranking 2019) in Asia.

INTERDISCIPLINARY CURRICULUM –ENGINEERING, INNOVATION & ENTREPRENUERSHIP

Our flexible curriculum allows students to explore interdisciplinary fields in Materials Science & Engineering, innovation and entrepreneurship. With a proper planning of your curriculum, you will have the chance to specialise in Materials Inno-prenuership, data analytics and additive manufacturing (from AY2021/2022).

Doctor of Engineering (EngD)

For application and programme details, please refer to Faculty of Engineering, Doctor of Engineering (EngD) program.

Module Requirements:

EngD students must complete 8 modules (32 MCs), of which 4 of the modules (16 MCs) shall be chosen from the area of technology management, engineering leadership and/or business administration, e.g. module MT5010 Technology Intelligence and IP Strategy.

The other 4 modules should technical modules under the discipline of Materials Science and Engineering. Among these 4 technical modules, 3 modules must be from the core and elective modules lists of PhD programme under Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The remaining 1 module can be any postgraduate module under Faculty of Engineering (excluding management module) and Faculty of Science.

EngD students do not need to complete module EG5911 Research Methodology & Ethics, but modules ES5101 Technical Communications for Engineers and MLE6999 Doctoral Seminars are still compulsory. EngD students are not allowed to take industrial attachment module MLE5666. Doctoral Seminars module MLE6999 and Graduate English Course modules (ES5101 etc.) do not contribute the total number of MC completed.

Ph.D. 2 Years in NUS + 2 Years in China – SUSTech

During this special PhD program, students will spend equal number of years in SUSTech in China and NUS Materials Science and Engineering department, respectively.

Students admitted before AY2019/20 have the option to study at NUS for the first 1.5 year first before returning to SUSTech, and be back to NUS for the last semester.

Students admitted from academic year 2019/2010 onwards will have to follow schedule as shown in table below. Student will only study at NUS during the first and last year. Students may be required to come back to NUS during their Year 2 and 3 in SUSTech to complete PhD Qualifying Examinations (QEs), if the QEs are not completed within the first year of study.

Module Requirements:

The module requirements are same as that for students under PhD programme of Department of Materials Science and Engineering.

Administrative Structure

Students will be administrated by the Faculty of Engineering through the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. It is envisaged that Department will have its own administrative set-up to administer its research students, similar to that of the other departments in the Faculty of Engineering.

Admission Requirements

The prevailing requirements for admission to research degrees shall apply.   The minimum requirement for admission is a Bachelor’s degree with honours (at least 2nd Class Lower) or its equivalent.  Candidates applying for direct admission to the PhD programme are expected to obtain at least a Bachelor’s degree with honours (at least 2nd Class Upper) or its equivalent.

International candidates are expected to submit their TOEFL and GRE test scores in support of their applications.  Candidates are also expected to have the ability to pursue research in the candidate’s proposed field of advanced study.

For more information on application, fees, graduate scholarship, please refer to Graduate, Faculty of Engineering (https://www.eng.nus.edu.sg/graduate/).

Candidature

The minimum and maximum periods of candidatures of the regular MEng and PhD programmes shall also apply to students of this discipline.

Programme Requirements

The PhD degree requires:

• completion of at least 24 Modular Credits (MC) technical modules; &
• Students must obtain a Cumulative Average Point (CAP) of 3.5; &
• a satisfactory grade in the Graduate English Course (Basic & Intermediate Level), for students who do not qualify for wavier of English Language requirement; &
• a satisfactory grade ES5101 Technical Communications for Engineers. Compulsory for PhD students admitted Academic Year 2017/18 Semester 1 onwards
• obtain a satisfactory grade for Faculty module EG5911 Research Methodology & Ethics (Compulsory, to be completed in first semester)
• pass Comprehensive and Oral PhD Qualifying Examinations within first 2 years into candidature;
• pass PhD thesis and Oral Defense

Module Requirements:

Each MEng student is required to complete 16 modular credits (MC), equivalent to 4 modules (assuming 4 MC per module), before graduation. Among these 4 modules, the 3 Core modules are compulsory. The remaining 1 module can be from the Elective modules list, or with maximum 1 non-core non-elective (NCE) modules.

Each PhD student is required to complete 24 modular credits (MC), equivalent to 6 modules (assuming 4 MC per module), before graduation. Among these 6 modules, the 3 Core modules are compulsory.
