Education
We offer degrees in four pillars (core areas of specialisation), which are developed to offer a modern engineering and architecture education that crosses traditional disciplines.
Research
We view the domain of technology and design as an emerging force rather than an established practice. These fields offer enormous intellectual, economic and social opportunities as well as an unrivalled edge to impact and lead in Singapore, the region and beyond.
Career
Career Development Centre is the bridge between our students and potential employers and alumni. We believe in the importance of early career preparation through career workshops and internships.
