the security seal of the university and the signature of the Registrar or representative.
TOEFL and
IELTS Tests
The quantity and quality of academic work at NUS cannot be accomplished without the mastery
of the English language. The point is deliberately emphasized because graduate students at NUS
submit assignments, take written examinations and are expected to participate actively in
classroom discussions. Applicants who graduated from Universities where English is not the
main medium of instruction (e.g. China, Myanmar, Indonesia, etc) are required to demonstrate
their English proficiency by means of TOEFL* / IELTS** test scores.
Applicants who graduated from English-medium Universities may be required to sit for the
TOEFL/IELTS test, at the discretion of the Faculty of Engineering, so as to assess their
suitability for university study.
Applicants are expected to check the Acknowledgement Slip/Email sent to them as to whether
they are required to sit for TOEFL/IELTS test. Those who are expected to do so, please submit
the originals/photocopies of their TOEFL/ IELTS scoresheets by the stipulated date.
*TOEFL is the abbreviation for the Test of English as a Foreign Language.
**IELTS is the abbreviation for the International English Language Testing System.
The minimum score expected is:
i. 600 (for TOEFL paper-based test) or
ii. 250 (for TOEFL computer-based test) or
iii. 92 (for TOEFL internet-based test) or
iv. 6.5 score for IELTS (Academic).

Fees – Session 2014/2015
While you are pursuing your studies in NUS, you are liable to pay fees. The amount payable may depend on your
nationality as well as whether you have previously enjoyed a Singapore government subsidy or sponsorship by a
government agency.
In essence, students either pay fees as set out in Tables 1 and 4 or Tables 2 and 4, while the M.Sc.(IP Mgt) students pay
fees set out in Tables 3 and 4.
Category 1 – Non-Subsidised Tuition Fees
Students who have previously enjoyed government subsidy/sponsorship by Ministry of Education (MOE) or any
Singapore government agency (such as scholarships offered by the Ministries, Public Service Commission and Statutory
Boards) in a graduate programme (either Master’s or Ph.D. degrees) will not be eligible for MOE subsidy in another
graduate programme at the same or lower level. Instead, such students are liable to pay Non-Subsidised Tuition Fees.
For example, students who have previously enjoyed subsidy/scholarship in a Master’s programme and have attained the
Master’s degree will not be eligible for subsidy in another programme at Master’s or lower level. The Non-Subsidised
Fees rates determined by MOE in Academic Year 2014/2015 are shown in Table 1. The Non-Subsidised Fees rates
payable for subsequent Academic Years (e.g. 2015/2016) are subject to revision. For the latest updates, please visit the
website http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/gd-fees.html .

For programmes that are deemed feasible (based on industry demand) to implement a service obligation, the self-financing
international student may be offered the option of signing the service obligation agreement in exchange for reduced tuition
fees. However, the student can only apply for service obligation with MOE on condition that they have not previously
enjoyed MOE’s government subsidy in another graduate programme (see Note 4 below).
International students who have signed the Service Obligation Agreement are required to work in Singapore-based
companies for 3 years upon graduation. Singapore-based companies refer to local and international companies that have a
base in Singapore that is registered with the Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) as well as companies
of such local and international companies registered with ACRA that are based overseas.
You may refer to http://www.nus.edu.sg/admissions/graduate-studies/service-obligation.php for further information on

MASTER OF SCIENCE (ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING)
The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Electrical Engineering is structured around lectures and end-of-semester examinations
during the regular semester I and II of the academic year. Candidates may opt for part-time or full-time study.
Lectures are usually held on weekdays in the evening from 6.00pm to 9.00pm.
A candidate needs to complete at least 10 modules (40 modular credits) with a minimum cumulative average point
(CAP) of 3.0 (B-) in order to graduate. The English Language requirement, where relevant, is in addition to the coursework
requirements. Graduate English courses are excluded from the CAP computation.
Student may read for a M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering with or without an area of specialization.
If a student has opted for a specialization and has met the graduation requirements for the MSc., but has not met the
requirements for graduating with the specialization, then by default, the student will graduate with the M.Sc. degree without
specialization indicated.
The specializations available are:
1. Automation and Control Engineering
2. Communications Engineering
3. Computer Engineering
4. Nanoelectronics
5. Power and Energy Systems
Whether or not a specialization is opted, a candidate may offer projects in lieu of graduate modules. If a candidate opts for
a project, he/she has to propose a suitable project and find an appropriate supervisor. The candidate's experience and
expertise in his/her workplace should help to identify a suitable project.
There are 2 types of projects (only one of these types can be taken):
Type 1: Independent Study Modules, EE5001/ EE5002 (equivalent to one graduate module)
Type 2: EE Project, EE5003 (equivalent to two graduate modules)
For information on staff research areas, please visit the ECE website at: http://www.ece.nus.edu.sg/community/faculty
Some modules have prerequisites. It is the candidate's responsibility to ensure that the prerequisite requirements are met.
Likewise, if a specialization is opted for, the candidate has to ensure that the requirements for this specialization are
satisfied. Please refer to the requirements for each of the specializations given below.
Candidates are asked to note that some modules are offered in Semester I and others in Semester 2. However, due to various
constraints, some modules may not be offered at all in any particular year. Candidates should note this in planning their
study programme.
Candidates should also note that the final composition of graduate modules proposed by them is subject to approval, as it
must always reflect a degree in Electrical Engineering. Candidate may take up to 2 graduate level modules from other
departments, i.e., those without EE codes, subject to approval.
Other elective modules may be chosen from within the Department. Modules taken outside the Department are subject to
the general guidelines and Department’s approval.
M.Sc. (ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING) - WITHOUT A SPECIALIZATION
Student who did not opt for a specialization will need to meet the course requirement of at least 40 modular credits
(inclusive of foundation/core modules, where required) of which at least 30 MCs must be at graduate level within the
related disciplines, and the remaining credits may be from other levels in the same or other disciplines subject to the
approval of the Department.

its environmental technology industry. The programme will prepare students to contribute to the environmental protection
efforts spearheaded by the countries in the region. In addition, this broad-based educational programme would be of
relevant interest to professionals in the government’s regulatory and statutory bodies, as well as in institutes of higher
learning.
The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Environmental Engineering is structured around lectures, continual assessments and endof-semester examinations. Candidates may opt for part time or full-time study.
Part-time students will normally read 2 graduate modules equivalent to 8 MCs per semester and attend lectures two
evenings per week. Full-time students will normally read 3-4 graduate modules equivalent to 12-16 MCs per semester and
attend lectures three-four evenings per week.
A candidate needs to complete a program of study consisting of 1 core module and at least 9 elective or other approved
modules.
Some modules may have prerequisites. It is the candidate’s responsibility to ensure that the prerequisites requirements, if
any, are met.
Candidates should also note that the final composition of graduate modules proposed by themselves is subject to approval
by Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Candidates may, as a part of the 10-module requirement for the
MSc and subject to approval by Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, take up to 2 graduate modules not
exceeding 10 MCs that are from other departments/faculties.
Degree Requirements
The graduate requirements include obtaining a minimum Cumulative Average Point (CAP) of 3.0 (equivalent to an average
of Grade of B-) for the best 40 Modular Credits (MCs), inclusive of core module. Of the 40 MCs, all must be at graduate
level and at least 30 MCs must be within the subject or in a related discipline, while the remaining credits may be from
other disciplines as approved by Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Students are not allowed to take a module which they have previously taken and counted towards a different degree
programme without prior permission from the Head of Department.

GUIDE FOR INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS
IMMIGRATION MATTERS
International students who are successful in gaining admission to their respective full-time M.Sc. programmes must note
that their offer of admission is conditional upon the successful application of their Student’s Pass.
The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) has implemented a web-based system for Student’s Pass application
called the Student’s Pass Online Application & Registration (SOLAR).
When full-time International students have been offered admission to our programmes, the University will proceed with
the Student’s Pass application via SOLAR and also write to inform candidates how to complete the application process
at their end. After candidates complete the application through SOLAR, ICA will process the application.
For candidates from countries which require a visa to enter Singapore (details can be found at
http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=96&secid=94), the University will be applying for the visa cum Student’s Pass
via SOLAR. If the Student’s Pass application is approved, the In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter, which also serves as a
single-journey entry visa, will be sent to the relevant candidates. This letter and the valid passport must be presented to the
Duty Officer at the immigration checkpoint upon arrival in Singapore.
For candidates from a non-visa required country (e.g. Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.), candidates can collect the approval letter
at the point of registration with the University.
On your arrival in Singapore, you will be given a Social Visit Pass for a minimum of 2 weeks at the airport or point of
entry. You may be asked to show your Letter of Offer of Admission. After registering as a student and obtaining your
student registration card, you must apply for a Student’s Pass at least 4 working days before the expiry of your Social Visit
Pass at one of the following centres :
1.
2.
Available before start of semester (dates to be confirmed).
Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) booth
National University of Singapore
(venue to be confirmed)
Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA)
ICA Building
4th Storey, 10 Kallang Road
Singapore 208718
Tel : 63916100
http://www.ica.gov.sg
Make an e-appointment at the ICA website
(https://eappointment.ica.gov.sg/ibook/index.do)
before going to ICA Building.
Your passport will be returned within 1 week. Bring along
your Letter of In-Principle Approval (with Graduate
Studies Office’s endorsement).
Some applications for Student’s Pass may take a longer duration to process. In some instances, the processing time may
take up to 6 weeks. For such situations, the candidate’s Social Visit Pass will be extended by ICA accordingly.
Please note that spouses and/or children of International M.Sc. students are not sponsored by the University for their visa
applications. Application of their Social Visit Pass (SVP) has to be made directly at the Visitor Services Centre, 4th floor
Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and a bond is required. The amount of the bond is to be established by ICA.
Student must have already obtained a Student’s Pass issued by the ICA at the time of application. A local sponsor
(Singapore Citizen/Permanent Resident) is required in order to apply for a SVP for spouse and/or children. The SVP
granted will normally be for up to a maximum period of 6 months. It is renewable, subject to ICA’s approval.
Details on immigration matters can be found at the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority website at http://www.ica.gov.sg .
