Overview
This MSC (Microelectronics) programme is a highly specialized programme jointly offered by Nanyang Technological University and Technische Universitat Munchen (Germany) on a full-time basis for training engineers to work in silicon wafer fabrication industries,
engage with the related research institutions and pursue further studies.
Admission Requirements
- For those with a good bachelor's degree in electrical/electronic engineering or equivalent degree in other relevant disciplines as the Board of Graduate Studies may approve.
- Preferably for those who have at least 6 months of relevant working experience .
Programme Structure
Students are required to take 12 modules in microelectronics topics,
including 6 core modules, 4 elective modules, and 2 laboratory modules, and to complete a
one-semester project. Each technical module has 45 contact hours. The project should be on a topic
related to microelectronics, may be undertaken either at NTU or at TUM or in the industry. In
addition, students will take an English module of 80 hours and 5 other non-technical short modules
of 10 hours each. The technical modules are as follows:
