Description/content

The Master of Science in Green Electronics is a highly specialised programme, which is jointly offered by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Technische Universität München (TUM). This programme aims to educate next generation semiconductor researchers and engineers to work in the research areas of novel electronic/optoelectronic devices and systems, with particular focus on the energy, sensing, monitoring and manufacturing fields.
Students will gain comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of micro-/nano-fabrication technology and advanced theories for renewable energy, power semi-conductors as well as organic semi-conductor devices and systems. The topics covered in this programme deal with the state of art research and industrial developments. Essential non-technical topics such as product marketing, international management, patent law and aspects of culture and globalisation will also be covered during the course work. This will be done mainly by freelancers from our industry partners.
Upon successful completion of the programme, students will be awarded a joint Master's degree from NTU and TUM.

*Disclaimer: Modules available for selection are subject to availability. Unforeseen circumstances that affect the availability of the module include an insufficient number of students taking up the module and/or the unavailability of the professor. TUM Asia reserves the right to cancel or postpone the module under such circumstances.

Course organisation

The first two semesters comprise all theoretical and practical modules and will be held in Singapore together with the partner university Nanyang Technological University (NTU). After the coursework, each student has to complete a mandatory internship in the industry or with an academic institution and a six-month Master's thesis.

All coursework is conducted in English, and students will be taught by German and Singaporean lecturers. 

International elements
  • International guest lecturers
  • Training in intercultural skills
  • Courses are led with foreign partners
  • Projects with partners in Germany and abroad
  • International comparisons and thematic reference to the international context
  • Content-related regional focus
Integrated internships

After the coursework, all students have to complete a mandatory internship with the industry or with an academic institution. It is required for the student to complete an internship related to his or her field of study at TUM Asia.

One can secure an internship in Singapore, Germany, or in any other country in Asia, Europe or the rest of the world. Students who have secured scholarships with their sponsoring companies will conduct their internships in the companies (this can be conducted in any branch of the company worldwide). Students without industrial sponsorships are to look for internships independently. It is expected that all students take an active approach in this search for internships. TUM Asia will help provide students with any possible internship opportunities, but students are to lead the search for internships on their own.

Academic admission requirements

An applicant must have completed at least a three-year Bachelor's degree (Honours) or European/German "FH Diploma" or its equivalent in areas of science/electrical/electronics engineering from a university with recognised standing with at least a Second Class Honours or equivalent. A basic understanding of semiconductor physics, electromagnetics and organic chemistry (or electrochemistry) is strongly recommended for the MSc programme in Green Electronics.

"Akademische Prüfstelle" (APS) certificate is required for applicants with education qualifications from China, Vietnam and Mongolia.

Language requirements

Applicants whose native language or medium of instruction from previous studies (e.g., Bachelor's) is not English must submit at least one of the following:

  • TOEFL: minimum 100 for Internet-based test
  • IELTS: overall IELTS results of at least 6.5

Possibility of finding part-time employment

The programme is too intensive for part-time jobs.

Accommodation

As Singapore is a relatively small island city with easy access via public transport, students are able to reside in any residential zones convenient to them. TUM Asia has no in-campus accommodation facilities and our students search for their own accommodation that fits their budget and preferred area of residence. They may choose to live in student hostels when they first arrive in Singapore and, after they have made new friends at university, they rent and share a private apartment with some other friends/classmates. The living expenses in Singapore (including accommodation) are approximately 1,200 SGD per month. The actual amount will vary across individuals.
