Non-Graduating Research Programme

The Non-Graduating (NG) research programme is a short-term research attachment in which the student is required to work a research project during the stint.

Applicants who are overseas postgraduates (currently pursuing a PhD or Master's degree) must find an NTU-EEE faculty member and obtain their agreement to supervise the applicant for this programme. NTU EEE hosts 13 research centres/laboratories, and applicants can learn more about EEE research areas here. For further assessment, the NTU EEE faculty member will then submit a hosting application form to the Graduate Research Programme Office (GRPO).

The proposed NG research programme start date should be 3 months from the hosting application form submission date.

Applicants of the China Scholarship Council (CSC) scholarship applying for admission to the NG research programme must link up with a NTU-EEE faculty member who is interested to supervise them. The NTU faculty thereafter must submit a hosting application form to EEE GRPO at least 2 months before the applicant’s CSC scholarship application deadline. Prior to submitting the hosting application form, NTU faculty should conduct an interview to ensure that the English proficiency of applicant is sufficient to carry out postgraduate research at NTU.

EEE Graduate Students Club (GSC) is a student led club which provides a platform for EEE graduate community to interact, engage, and integrate. Students can find out more about GSC here.

The student will receive a certificate upon the successful completion of the programme.
