NTU–SJTU Dual Degree Programme

Singapore and China play complementary and powerful roles in the global economy. Singapore is a high-value R&D, finance, and global business hub; China has one of the most dynamic engineering, manufacturing, and technology bases in the world. This programme draws on the best of both.

Graduates will be equipped for careers in:
• Green energy and sustainability
• Artificial intelligence and data science
• Semiconductors and advanced manufacturing

Beyond technical depth, students will graduate with cross-cultural fluency, bilingual professional competency, and access to an unrivalled network of NTU and SJTU alumni and industry partners across the Asia-Pacific region.
