NIE delivers 29 Masters by coursework programmes and their respective specialisations to MOE and Non-MOE participants.


The pathways describe multiple options for an individual keen on professional learning opportunities at a graduate level. For an individual who wants to develop knowledge and skills through individual courses, there is no need to sign up for any programme first. One can select any number or kind of courses to meet one’s professional needs.
