The MSc (Smart Industries and Digital Transformation) programme incorporates learning opportunities both inside the classroom and out in the industry. A key component of the programme is the core Capstone Project Course, which enables students to apply all their learnings in collaboration with a sponsoring company to produce a prototype, minimum viable product or innovation solution.
The MSc (Smart Industries and Digital Transformation) curriculum is specifically designed in accordance with the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) Singapore Smart Industry Readiness Index. It is intended to further aid companies in transforming their capabilities through their human capital, and support Singapore’s drive towards becoming a Smart Nation.
