An 18-month dual-degree programme awarding an MIT Master of Engineering (Materials Science and Engineering) and an NUS Master of Science (AMM&NS). It suits students aiming to lead technology-based enterprises—particularly in advanced materials—who want a mix of campus immersion, international collaboration and industry-focused thesis work.
Study begins with graduate-level surveying courses covering the fundamentals of materials science and engineering, with an applied focus. After the foundation phase, students progress into subject areas selected with an advisor to build domain expertise. The programme encourages interdisciplinary electives outside materials (for example entrepreneurship or technology management). The MIT Master of Engineering component requires five compulsory courses, one compulsory elective, two or three restricted electives and completion of a thesis. The NUS Master of Science (AMM&NS) component requires four compulsory courses, four elective modules and a thesis project completed through a six-month industrial attachment with a Singapore company. The capstone involves participation in engineering projects and technology assessment under MIT supervision.
Specific admission criteria are not provided in the source text. Applicants should expect standard masters-level entry expectations and to consult the programme offices at MIT and NUS for formal academic and administrative requirements.
Graduates are prepared to become leaders in technology-driven enterprises, with particular relevance to companies and projects focused on advanced materials. The combination of academic research, project-based capstone work and a six-month industrial attachment equips students for roles in R&D, technology assessment, product development and management within materials-intensive industries.
No funding details are given in the source. Prospective applicants should investigate scholarships, assistantships and industrial sponsorships offered by the partner universities, plus external fellowships and company-funded attachments tied to the six-month industry project.
