Master of Science in Precision Scientific Instrumentation​

Master (Coursework)

Programme Type

Full-time, Part-time

A coursework-based Master of Science programme covering the principles and operation of advanced technical instrumentation in the physical sciences and high-tech manufacturing.

Quantitative measurements are performed in every area of science, engineering and technology. Modern high-tech enterprises rely on a variety of precision scientific instruments for the design, development, and manufacturing of new products. This programme is suitable for both recent graduates and working professionals in advanced manufacturing industries (semiconductors, non-volatile memory, photonics, etc.).

The Master of Science in Precision Scientific Instrumentation programme delves into the fundamental physical principles behind modern scientific instrumentation, and how to use them. Offered by NTU's School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, the programme incorporates coursework from multiple scientific and engineering disciplines including solid-state physics, microelectronics, optoelectronics, and materials science.

  • Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative programme such as Physics, Engineering, Optics, Applied Physics, etc.
  • For graduates of universities with non-English medium of instruction, a TOEFL score of 85 or more, or IELTS score of 6.0 or more.
  • Good GRE or GMAT score – preferred but not required.

The programme is intended to be completed in 1 year (full-time) or 2 years (part-time). On average, full-time students take 4-5 classes a week, and part-time students take 2-3 classes a week.
