The Master of Science in Green Electronics is a highly specialised programme, which is jointly offered by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Technische Universität München (TUM). This programme aims to educate next generation semiconductor researchers and engineers to work in the research areas of novel electronic/optoelectronic devices and systems, with particular focus on the energy, sensing, monitoring and manufacturing fields.
Students will gain comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of micro-/nano-fabrication technology and advanced theories for renewable energy, power semi-conductors as well as organic semi-conductor devices and systems. The topics covered in this programme deal with the state of art research and industrial developments. Essential non-technical topics such as product marketing, international management, patent law and aspects of culture and globalisation will also be covered during the course work. This will be done mainly by freelancers from our industry partners.
Upon successful completion of the programme, students will be awarded a joint Master's degree from NTU and TUM.

Educational organisation

The first two semesters (10 months) comprise all the theoretical modules and will be held in Singapore together with the partner university, Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The third semester includes a mandatory three-month internship at an industrial partner and a period of six months for the Master's thesis.

Study abroad unit(s)

The modules will be held in Singapore, the three-month internship and six-month Master's thesis may be undertaken either at TUM or in a company in Singapore/Germany.

Internships

Three months for students in Germany/Europe or Singapore

Forms of assessment

Each module has continuous assessment and a final exam. We use a credit point system. Final transcripts contain international and German grading.

Course objectives

In addition to a sound and industry-relevant education with practical use for a professional career, one of our ambitions is to immerse students from all over the world into foreign cultures, languages, history, and way of life. This is why our programme places its emphasis on:
  • The spirit of international relations
  • Leadership in multinational teams
  • Courses in business administration, management, law, culture, ancient and modern history of both Asia and Europe
  • Exchange programmes to Europe/Germany and Asia
  • An intercultural ambience
  • Optional language courses to learn the German language

Language requirements

Applicants whose native language or medium of instruction from previous studies (e.g. Bachelor) is not English must submit at least one of the following:
  • TOEFL: minimum 605 for paper-based test, 234 for computer-based test, 88 for internet-based test
  • IELTS: overall IELTS results of at least 6.5

Academic requirements

An applicant must have completed at least a three-year Bachelor's degree (Honours) or European/German FH Diploma or its equivalent in areas of science/electrical/electronics engineering from a university with recognised standing with at least a Second Class Honours or equivalent. A basic understanding of semiconductor physics, electromagnetics and organic chemistry (or electrochemistry) is strongly recommended for the MSc programme in Green Electronics.
Akademische Prüfstelle (APS) certificate is required for applicants with education qualifications from China, Vietnam and Mongolia.

Enrolment fees

Approx. 115 EUR per semester

Costs of living

Around 1,000 SGD per month in Singapore and around 700 EUR per month in Munich for accommodation, living, health insurance, books, and miscellaneous expenses

Job opportunities

The programme is too intensive for part-time jobs.

Funding opportunities within the university

Limited scholarships from renowned partners in the aerospace industry and TUM Asia- scholarships are provided for outstanding students.

Arrival support

We provide arrival information in Singapore and Munich, and assistance with visa issues. We also offer an orientation week for new students with information on residence permits, insurance, etc.

Accommodation

It is not easy to find a place to live in Munich - but it is not impossible either! TUM supports students and employees in their search for accommodation, providing personal advice, in-house listings and useful information to ensure that you can quickly find a place to call your own: http://www.tum.de/en/university-life/accommodations/
With high rents and not enough rooms in halls of residence, the Munich rental market is one of the most competitive in Germany - especially for students. The city boasts over 1.4 million inhabitants, with more people moving to Munich every year - many of them attracted by the excellent study opportunities that Munich has to offer.
Student halls of residence usually offer affordable accommodation for students. The Munich Student Union runs most of these halls of residence - more information at http://www.studentenwerk-muenchen.de/en/accommodation/
