Build Your Vision of The Future

Modelling and simulation technologies are essential in both scientific research and industrial applications, with diverse and far-reaching uses across sectors such as healthcare and medicine, aerospace, materials science, physics, biology, economics, meteorology, information technology, communications, and beyond.

As the global demand for highly skilled professionals in this field continues to grow, the Master of Science (MSc) in Modelling and Simulation programme at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is specifically designed to meet this increasing need.

This programme provides students with a solid foundation in computational modelling, artificial intelligence, specialised applications, and both research and industrial practices. With this comprehensive training, graduates are well-equipped to pursue doctoral studies or step into high-level roles in the workforce, positioning them for successful careers in a rapidly evolving, high-demand field with vast global opportunities.

The admission criteria are as follows:

• A good Bachelor's Degree in a quantitative programme (e.g. mathematics, physics, engineering, computer sciences, finance, or related fields etc).
• A TOEFL score of 85 or more, or IELTS score of 6.0 or more, for graduates of universities in which English is not the medium of instruction
  
  Below are preferred but not required:
  

• A good GMAT score or GRE score
• Some relevant work experience

Refer to Coursework Programmes Admission Guide for the general requirements for admission.

NOTE:

• Do not send a hardcopy admission package unless requested. 
• Complete set of supporting documents (must be legible) have to be uploaded via the fully digital application portal. Applicants to/may upload their TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT or GRE score via the online application.

The MSc in Modelling and Simulation programme is an intensive one-year full-time or two-year part-time programme by coursework taught in three trimesters per academic year. The courses are delivered in intensive formats of either 7 weeks (with each trimester split into two halves) or a full 13 weeks. All courses are conducted at NTU main campus.

The programme consists of a total of 30 Academic Units (AU), with 15 AU of compulsory courses and 15 AU from elective courses. 

The requirements for graduation are:

• ​​Successful completion of the courses of a total of 30 AU as prescribed by MSc in Modelling and Simulation; and
• Attaining a minimum CGPA of 2.50 at the completion of the programme of study.​ 

Programme Features

The curriculum consists of four specialisations: 

1. Materials Science and Engineering
2. Medicine and Healthcare
3. Economics and Finance
4. Data Science and Computing Engineering

The practicum course, MH6591 Graduate Research Practicum or MH6592 Graduate Professional Internship Practicum, starts in Trimester 3 and students can choose to take either one as their Prescribed Elective.
*Note that students are allowed to choose only up to two courses from the list of MH6548 to MH6551.

Upon graduation, students may claim one specialisation based on the courses they have successfully completed. To do so, students must complete all the prescribed elective courses for their chosen specialisation.

Additionally, prior to the start of the first trimester, students are required to attend a mandatory two-week intensive course, which can be taken either in-person or online. During this course, they will receive a comprehensive review of fundamental concepts in Calculus, Linear Algebra, Complex Analysis, and Differential Equations. This course does not account towards the degree award. However, students must pass a test at the end of the course. If they do not pass, they will need to attend an additional three-hour course to strengthen their fundamental mathematical skills.
