College of Design and Engineering
The College of Design and Engineering (CDE) came into existence on 1 January 2022 from the merger of the Faculty of Engineering (FoE) and the School of Design and Environment (SDE). Do check cde.nus.edu.sg for the latest on CDE’s programmes.
Coursework Programmes
Aimed at working professionals, our coursework (taught) programmes are designed for university graduates who wish to advance their knowledge and careers in their chosen fields of specialisation.
Admission for a Masters' programme requires a Bachelor’s degree with honours or its equivalent from a good University, in an area related to the intended programme of study; or a Bachelor’s degree with a relevant NUS Graduate Certificate with a minimum GPA as imposed by the Host Department of the intended programme of study. Candidates should preferably have had a period of relevant work experience after obtaining their first degree. Candidates with other qualifications and achievements deemed to be suitably prepared for the programme of study may also be considered.
Coursework programmes of study, well chosen, enhance future career prospects and have been a vital part of many of our students’ career plans.

Master's by Coursework programmes are normally conducted in the evenings and are awarded once the candidates pass the relevant examinations in a prescribed number of subjects. Students may enrol in any of these programmes on a part-time or full-time basis. However, International candidates who are not long-term residents of Singapore at the time of application are only eligible to apply for the full-time Master's by Coursework programmes, and if offered admission, they are to be registered as full-time students.
