Programme Structure

The Master of Science in Industrial Chemistry is a full time research and application focused programme that runs over 18 months. Students will complete 5 core modules, 3 specialization modules and 3 free elective modules. Each technical module has 45 contact hours. In addition, students will take 3 other cross discipline modules. Students are also required to complete 2 months internship and a 6 months master thesis to be carried out for the full semester 3. The internship and thesis may be undertaken either at NUS, TUM or in a company in Singapore/Germany.
