Overview

NUS Graduate School – Integrative Sciences and Engineering Programme

The NUS Graduate School’s Integrative Sciences and Engineering Programme (ISEP) promotes interdisciplinary PhD research and education. 

We recognise that raising and solving many of the most challenging problems in science, engineering, computing and bio-medicine requires integrative research approaches. ISEP students are encouraged to transcend traditional discipline boundaries in their PhD research projects to elevate progress to new levels.

ISEP is a talent programme with two major thrusts:

  • ISEP offers top-quality students opportunities in trans-disciplinary research with eminent researchers, leading to breakthroughs at the intersection and/or union of two or more disciplines.
  • ISEP provides a trans-disciplinary, broad-based graduate education which is tailored to individual needs and interests.

Our students work at the forefront of science, engineering, computing, and bio-medicine at NUS faculties and A*STAR research institutes.

  • Our multi‐disciplinary environment affords exceptionally gifted, motivated students tremendous flexibility. If they choose to, students can explore the possibility of dipping into fields of study and research different from the disciplines they originate from.
  • Our students have access to a world‐class infrastructure, and receive research supervision from distinguished academics from two (or more) different fields of their choosing and interests.
  • And, the curriculum is tailored by and to each individual student’s needs and interests, and affords ample opportunities to ensure and enhance integrative learning.

Such a totality in research and education effectively sharpens their critical thinking skills, and helps them to design their PhD projects in creative and interesting ways.
