OVERVIEW

Mechanical Engineering has been an important discipline in every industry. With the advent of the computer and information technology, mechanical engineering is now playing an even more important role in the development of many new areas, such as life science and micro/nano technologies. The breakthrough in these new technologies is often seen to rely on the support of mechanical engineering. Thus, there is an increasing demand for R&D engineers and managers who have strong background in mechanical engineering.

This MSc programme is specifically designed for graduate engineers, R&D engineers, scientists, researchers, and other related professionals who wish to equip themselves with more advanced knowledge in mechanical engineering to face the ever changing world. The MSc programme is offered by the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Candidates must possess a good Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Production, Electrical or Electronics Engineering, Applied Science, or other equivalent qualifications. Preference will be given to those with relevant working or postgraduate experience.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
