Language of
Instruction
The language of instruction for the graduate courses is English.
Course
Structure
Graduate courses are usually conducted in the evenings from 6.00 pm to 9.00 pm from
Mondays to Fridays.
In the M.Sc. (IP Mgt) programme, students can expect some classes on Saturdays (typically
from 9.30am to 12.30pm) for some of the Grad. Cert. in IP Law modules.
The general course structure for all M.Sc. programmes is shown in Table A (page 3). Students
may either take a general course leading to a M.Sc. degree in their chosen discipline or choose
an area of specialization (where available). The areas of specialization are shown in Table B
(page 4).
Registration
Students either register as full-time or part-time candidates. However, International candidates

who are not residing or not working in Singapore are only eligible to apply for the full-time
M.Sc. programmes, and if offered admission, they are to be registered as full-time students
only.
All registered full-time students are not permitted to be employed without permission from the
University. Those found doing so may have their candidatures terminated immediately.
No student may concurrently be a candidate for more than one degree or register as a candidate
of the University and of another University or Institution.
Exemption of
Modules
Applicants who are Grad. Dip. (Env Eng / Aviation Mgt / Maritime & Port Mgt) holders and/or
former M.Sc. students who withdrew from their course of study and who wish to be considered
for exemption of module(s) in their new M.Sc. candidature must apply in writing through their
respective Departments Office only after they gain successful admission to their new M.Sc.
programme.
Applicants who meet the minimum requirements of an average of 55% in Grad. Cert in IP Law
will automatically be exempted from the GCIP modules upon successful admission to the
M.Sc.(IP Mgt) programme.
Pre-taken
Modules
Please note that any modules taken to meet the requirements of one degree cannot be used to
count towards another degree.
NUS B.Eng. or B.Tech. graduates may apply for a transfer of credits of their approved pretaken* modules read during their undergraduate studies to their current M.Sc. studies in NUS.
The pre-taken modules should be graduate modules and certain Level 4000 modules which the
Department allows to be counted towards the M.Sc. programme requirements.
Modules pre-taken (maximum of 5) should be read less than 5 years prior to admission of their
M.Sc. degree and are not counted towards their Bachelors degree. Upon approval, the pretaken modules and grades will be transferred and included in the CAP computation of their
current M.Sc. programme. All applications for transfer of credits must be submitted to GSE
within the 1st month of their new M.Sc. candidature.
*Pre-taken modules must be indicated in the transcripts of academic records for their Bachelors degree
(i.e. B.Eng. or B.Tech.) and not included in the Bachelors degree CAP computation.
Professional
Development
Units
For each M.Sc. module read by a M.Sc. student who is a member of the Professional Engineers
Board Singapore (PEB), 39 Professional Units (PDU) may be awarded under the Professional
Engineers Board Singapore's Continuing Professional Development Programme (CPD).
Selection of
Modules &
Class TimeTable
Information on available modules for each semester and class time-table will be issued by the
DEPARTMENTS to candidates who are successful in gaining admission to the courses.
Successful candidates should be notified of this information about two weeks before the

Sum (MC)
All letter grades (including Grade F) are computed in the CAP computation for M.Sc. students who have
yet to accumulate 40 MCs. Students who have achieved more than 40 MCs, the CAP is computed on the
best modules equivalent to 40 MCs (inclusive of foundation/core modules, where required).
The English Language requirement, where relevant, is in addition to the coursework requirements.
Graduate English courses are excluded from the CAP computation.
Documentary
Evidence
All required supporting documents should be attached to the completed application in hardcopy
for submission. Certificates submitted in a language other than English must be accompanied by
a translated and certified copy. All supporting documents (original & photocopies) submitted by
candidates will not be returned. Further documentary evidence may be requested at a later date.
Original official transcript, or its certified true copies, of candidates with qualifications other than
those from NUS would be requested at the point when offer of admission is made. This should
be sent directly from the issuing University to NUS in a SEALED envelope with its flap bearing
the security seal of the university and the signature of the Registrar or representative.
TOEFL and
IELTS Tests
The quantity and quality of academic work at NUS cannot be accomplished without the mastery
of the English language. The point is deliberately emphasized because graduate students at NUS
submit assignments, take written examinations and are expected to participate actively in
classroom discussions. Applicants who graduated from Universities where English is not the
main medium of instruction (e.g. China, Myanmar, Indonesia, etc) are required to demonstrate
their English proficiency by means of TOEFL* / IELTS** test scores.
Applicants who graduated from English-medium Universities may be required to sit for the
TOEFL/IELTS test, at the discretion of the Faculty of Engineering, so as to assess their
suitability for university study.
Applicants are expected to check the Acknowledgement Slip/Email sent to them as to whether
they are required to sit for TOEFL/IELTS test. Those who are expected to do so, please submit
the originals/photocopies of their TOEFL/ IELTS scoresheets by the stipulated date.
*TOEFL is the abbreviation for the Test of English as a Foreign Language.
**IELTS is the abbreviation for the International English Language Testing System.
The minimum score expected is:
i. 600 (for TOEFL paper-based test) or
ii. 250 (for TOEFL computer-based test) or
iii. 92 (for TOEFL internet-based test) or
iv. 6.5 score for IELTS (Academic).

Fees Session 2015/2016

While you are pursuing your studies in NUS, you are liable to pay fees. The amount payable may depend on your
nationality as well as whether you have previously enjoyed a Singapore government subsidy or sponsorship by a
government agency.
In essence, students either pay fees as set out in Tables 1 and 4 or Tables 2 and 4, while the M.Sc.(IP Mgt) students pay
fees set out in Tables 3 and 4.
Category 1 Non-Subsidised Tuition Fees
Students who have previously enjoyed government subsidy/sponsorship by Ministry of Education (MOE) or any
Singapore government agency (such as scholarships offered by the Ministries, Public Service Commission and Statutory
Boards) in a graduate programme (either Masters or Ph.D. degrees) will not be eligible for MOE subsidy in another
graduate programme at the same or lower level. Instead, such students are liable to pay Non-Subsidised Tuition Fees.
For example, students who have previously enjoyed subsidy/scholarship in a Masters programme and have attained the
Masters degree will not be eligible for subsidy in another programme at Masters or lower level. The Non-Subsidised
Fees rates determined by MOE in Academic Year 2015/2016 are shown in Table 1. The Non-Subsidised Fees rates
payable for subsequent Academic Years are subject to revision. For the latest updates, please visit the website

For programmes that are deemed feasible (based on industry demand) to implement a service obligation, the self-financing
international student may be offered the option of signing the service obligation agreement in exchange for reduced tuition
fees. However, the student can only apply for service obligation with MOE on condition that they have not previously
enjoyed MOEs government subsidy in another graduate programme (see Note 4 below).
International students who have signed the Service Obligation Agreement are required to work in Singapore-based
companies for 3 years upon graduation. Singapore-based companies refer to local and international companies that have a
base in Singapore that is registered with the Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) as well as companies
of such local and international companies registered with ACRA that are based overseas.
You may refer to http://www.nus.edu.sg/admissions/graduate-studies/service-obligation.php for further information on

Deferment
Once an offer of admission is made to a successful applicant, no deferment of registration will

be granted to candidates who are currently residing in Singapore. Successful applicants who are
unable to register will have to re-apply for admission. Candidates who are pursuing full-time
study and who are presently not residing in Singapore may, subject to approval, be granted
deferment for at most one semester. All requests are considered on a case-by-case basis.
Financial
Statement for
International
Applicants
Overseas applicants who are not residing or not working in Singapore are only eligible to apply
for admission to pursue graduate programmes on a full-time basis. For candidates who are not
on any scholarship or sponsorship (e.g. companys), their application must be accompanied by
documentary evidence to show their ability to support themselves financially (i.e. estimated
living expenses of S$18,000 a year in Singapore). As such, applicants are to provide either:
a bank statement indicating a balance of at least S$18,000 or its equivalent in savings / fixed
deposit account(s); or
a letter of confirmation and financial statement from a sponsor [e.g. bank statement of
sponsor indicating a balance of at least S$18,000 or its equivalent in savings / fixed deposit
account(s)].
This amount is based on the minimum period of one year taken to complete the programme on
full-time basis. In addition, candidates must also ensure that they have the financial means to
see through their programme of study, in terms of paying for their tuition and other related fees,
for their entire programme of study. Candidates who require more time to prepare themselves
financially for their graduate studies (e.g. tuition fees, living expenses etc) are encouraged to
apply for admission in the subsequent intake when they have enough means to see through their
programme of study.
Please refer to the section on 'Guide for International Applicants' (pages 44 & 45) for details on
immigration matters, accommodation and estimated cost of living.

MASTER OF SCIENCE (ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING)

The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Electrical Engineering is structured around lectures and end-of-semester examinations
during the regular semester I and II of the academic year. Candidates may opt for part-time or full-time study.
Lectures are usually held on weekdays in the evening from 6.00pm to 9.00pm.
A candidate needs to complete at least 10 modules (40 modular credits) with a minimum cumulative average point
(CAP) of 3.0 (B-) in order to graduate. The English Language requirement, where relevant, is in addition to the coursework
requirements. Graduate English courses are excluded from the CAP computation.
Student may read for a M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering with or without an area of specialization.
If a student has opted for a specialization and has met the graduation requirements for the MSc., but has not met the
requirements for graduating with the specialization, then by default, the student will graduate with the M.Sc. degree without
specialization indicated.
The specializations available are:

1. Automation and Control Engineering
2. Communications Engineering
3. Computer Engineering
4. Nanoelectronics
5. Power and Energy Systems
Whether or not a specialization is opted, a candidate may offer projects in lieu of graduate modules. If a candidate opts for
a project, he/she has to propose a suitable project and find an appropriate supervisor. The candidate's experience and
expertise in his/her workplace should help to identify a suitable project.
There are 2 types of projects (only one of these types can be taken):
Type 1: Independent Study Modules, EE5001/ EE5002 (equivalent to one graduate module)
Type 2: EE Project, EE5003 (equivalent to two graduate modules)
For information on staff research areas, please visit the ECE website at: http://www.ece.nus.edu.sg/community/faculty
Some modules have prerequisites. It is the candidate's responsibility to ensure that the prerequisite requirements are met.
Likewise, if a specialization is opted for, the candidate has to ensure that the requirements for this specialization are
satisfied. Please refer to the requirements for each of the specializations given below.
Candidates are asked to note that some modules are offered in Semester I and others in Semester 2. However, due to various
constraints, some modules may not be offered at all in any particular year. Candidates should note this in planning their
study programme.
Candidates should also note that the final composition of graduate modules proposed by them is subject to approval, as it
must always reflect a degree in Electrical Engineering. Candidate may take up to 2 graduate level modules from other
departments, i.e., those without EE codes, subject to approval.
Other elective modules may be chosen from within the Department. Modules taken outside the Department are subject to
the general guidelines and Departments approval.
M.Sc. (ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING) - WITHOUT A SPECIALIZATION
Student who did not opt for a specialization will need to meet the course requirement of at least 40 modular credits
(inclusive of foundation/core modules, where required) of which at least 30 MCs must be at graduate level within the
related disciplines, and the remaining credits may be from other levels in the same or other disciplines subject to the
approval of the Department.

MASTER OF SCIENCE (ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING)

Overview
The Master of Science in Environmental Engineering programme is targeted at graduates who are either working, or
considering a career, in environmental engineering, and wish to be part of the global effort to incorporate environmental
considerations in all human activities. The curriculum is sufficiently flexible to accommodate students from science and
technology backgrounds as well as provide practicing engineers an opportunity to enhance their technical competence.
This programme is also suitable for graduates who wish to build on their prior educational background and professional
experience in the field of environmental science and technology, and to acquire new skills for solving advanced
environmental engineering problems, thus enabling them to contribute in greater measure to Singapores push to develop
its environmental technology industry. The programme will prepare students to contribute to the environmental protection
efforts spearheaded by the countries in the region. In addition, this broad-based educational programme would be of
relevant interest to professionals in the governments regulatory and statutory bodies, as well as in institutes of higher
learning.
The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Environmental Engineering is structured around lectures, continual assessments and endof-semester examinations. Candidates may opt for part time or full-time study.
Part-time students will normally read 2 graduate modules equivalent to 8 MCs per semester and attend lectures two
evenings per week. Full-time students will normally read 3-4 graduate modules equivalent to 12-16 MCs per semester and
attend lectures three-four evenings per week.
A candidate needs to complete a program of study consisting of 1 core module and at least 9 elective or other approved
modules.
Some modules may have prerequisites. It is the candidates responsibility to ensure that the prerequisites requirements, if
any, are met.
Candidates should also note that the final composition of graduate modules proposed by themselves is subject to approval
by Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Candidates may, as a part of the 10-module requirement for the
MSc and subject to approval by Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, take up to 2 graduate modules not
exceeding 10 MCs that are from other departments/faculties.
Degree Requirements
The graduate requirements include obtaining a minimum Cumulative Average Point (CAP) of 3.0 (equivalent to an average
of Grade of B-) for the best 40 Modular Credits (MCs), inclusive of core module. Of the 40 MCs, all must be at graduate
level and at least 30 MCs must be within the subject or in a related discipline, while the remaining credits may be from
other disciplines as approved by Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Students are not allowed to take a module which they have previously taken and counted towards a different degree
programme without prior permission from the Head of Department.

basis and only with valid reasons (which exclude heavy work commitment). Extension, if granted, is limited to one
semester, and students who fail to complete CE5111 in two semesters will be given a grade F and will have to repeat the
module.
2
CE6102 requires two pre-requisites/co-requisites, namely CE4257 and CE6101. In other words, students need to have
taken CE4257 and CE6101 in a previous semester or are taking them in the same semester as CE6102. Otherwise, the
system will not register him/her for CE6102. In terms of contents, CE6102 will draw heavily from CE4257 and CE6101.
For this reason, students are advised to take CE4257 and CE6101 as early as possible in their study.

GUIDE FOR INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS
IMMIGRATION MATTERS
International students who are successful in gaining admission to their respective full-time M.Sc. programmes must note
that their offer of admission is conditional upon the successful application of their Students Pass.
The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) has implemented a web-based system for Students Pass application
called the Students Pass Online Application & Registration (SOLAR).
When full-time International students have been offered admission to our programmes, the University will proceed with
the Students Pass application via SOLAR and also write to inform candidates how to complete the application process
at their end. After candidates complete the application through SOLAR, ICA will process the application.
For candidates from countries which require a visa to enter Singapore (details can be found at
http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=96&secid=94), the University will be applying for the visa cum Students Pass
via SOLAR. If the Students Pass application is approved, the In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter, which also serves as a
single-journey entry visa, will be sent to the relevant candidates. This letter and the valid passport must be presented to the
Duty Officer at the immigration checkpoint upon arrival in Singapore.
For candidates from a non-visa required country (e.g. Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.), candidates can collect the approval letter
at the point of registration with the University.
On your arrival in Singapore, you will be given a Social Visit Pass for a minimum of 2 weeks at the airport or point of
entry. You may be asked to show your Letter of Offer of Admission. After registering as a student and obtaining your
student registration card, you must apply for a Students Pass at least 4 working days before the expiry of your Social Visit
Pass at one of the following centres :
1.
2.
Available before start of semester (dates to be confirmed).
Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) booth

National University of Singapore

Tel : 63916100
http://www.ica.gov.sg
Make an e-appointment at the ICA website

(https://eappointment.ica.gov.sg/ibook/index.do)
before going to ICA Building.
Your passport will be returned within 1 week. Bring along
your Letter of In-Principle Approval (with Graduate
Studies Offices endorsement).
Some applications for Students Pass may take a longer duration to process. In some instances, the processing time may
take up to 6 weeks. For such situations, the candidates Social Visit Pass will be extended by ICA accordingly.
Please note that spouses and/or children of International M.Sc. students are not sponsored by the University for their visa
applications. Application of their Social Visit Pass (SVP) has to be made directly at the Visitor Services Centre, 4th floor
Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and a bond is required. The amount of the bond is to be established by ICA.
Student must have already obtained a Students Pass issued by the ICA at the time of application. A local sponsor
(Singapore Citizen/Permanent Resident) is required in order to apply for a SVP for spouse and/or children. The SVP
granted will normally be for up to a maximum period of 6 months. It is renewable, subject to ICAs approval.
Details on immigration matters can be found at the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority website at http://www.ica.gov.sg .
