Curriculum Overview
Our curriculum is reviewed regularly to ensure that it is updated, industry-relevant and that students are exposed to real-world developments such as globalisation, sustainability and technopreneurship. As a research-intensive university, our faculty are at the forefront of knowledge creation and technological innovation.
The following highlights some of the key features of CoE’s curriculum. You can also find out more about NTU's Education ambitions and goals here.
Broad-based Curriculum
To succeed in the dynamic global workplace, a broad body of knowledge and skillsets is necessary. At CoE, we design our undergraduate curriculum to provide a holistic education and create diverse opportunities to harness the talents of students. With the world's problems becoming increasingly more complex, we prepare and empower our graduates to be future-ready through a rigorous yet flexible, broad-based and multidisciplinary curriculum that integrates core disciplinary knowledge with Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core (ICC) courses that address global challenges and key transferable skills. The ICC promotes and enables interdisciplinary collaboration by providing students the opportunity to attend classes with students from other disciplines. This allows students to experience learning, collaborating and problem-solving in multidisciplinary teams to create more holistic and sustainable solutions, a prelude to professional practice upon graduation.
CoE’s curriculum also offers students the flexibility to direct their learning according to their interests and abilities. Using the free electives provided in their curriculum structure wisely, students can make the most of their time at NTU by exploring a minor, tinker in one of the Makers’ Labs, or even launch their first start-up.
Global Exposure
With over 350 premier partner universities in nearly 40 countries, NTU’s global programmes allow students to advance their knowledge and learning as well as acquire a global edge through the opportunity to study, work or research at some of the most renowned institutions in the world, including Australian National University, Cambridge University, Imperial College Long, King's College, Northwestern University, Peking University, Royal Academy of Art, Technische Universitat Muchen, University of British Columbia, University of California, Berkeley and Wageningen University.
Through the experience, students are able to move out of their comfort zone to broaden their horizons, connect with people from various nationalities and learn about their culture and way of life, develop global perspectives, and network with peers and professors from other prestigious universities. See Global Programmes for more information.
At CoE, we advocate learning beyond the classroom and encourage students to think outside the box to develop creative solutions. We nurture our students to become problem-solvers and innovators and provide them with a collaborative and stimulating environment to build innovation into their daily learning experience. Partnering other colleges in the university, CoE students can now access the makers’ spaces in their schools and across the campus, including the Dyson-NTU Studio, a joint collaboration between Dyson Singapore and NTU and Dyson’s first on-campus engineering studio in Asia. Through this, we hope to encourage CoE students to collaborate with peers from different disciplines and work in teams to experiment, create, build and innovate. Check out our Makers' Labs here.
