The MSc in Modelling and Simulation programme is an intensive one-year full-time or two-year part-time programme by coursework taught in three trimesters per academic year. The courses are delivered in intensive formats of either 7 weeks (with each trimester split into two halves) or a full 13 weeks. All courses are conducted at NTU main campus.

The programme consists of a total of 30 Academic Units (AU), with 15 AU of compulsory courses and 15 AU from elective courses. 

The requirements for graduation are:

• ​​Successful completion of the courses of a total of 30 AU as prescribed by MSc in Modelling and Simulation; and
• Attaining a minimum CGPA of 2.50 at the completion of the programme of study.​ 

Programme Features

The curriculum consists of four specialisations: 

1. Materials Science and Engineering
2. Medicine and Healthcare
3. Economics and Finance
4. Data Science and Computing Engineering

The practicum course, MH6591 Graduate Research Practicum or MH6592 Graduate Professional Internship Practicum, starts in Trimester 3 and students can choose to take either one as their Prescribed Elective.
*Note that students are allowed to choose only up to two courses from the list of MH6548 to MH6551.

Upon graduation, students may claim one specialisation based on the courses they have successfully completed. To do so, students must complete all the prescribed elective courses for their chosen specialisation.

Additionally, prior to the start of the first trimester, students are required to attend a mandatory two-week intensive course, which can be taken either in-person or online. During this course, they will receive a comprehensive review of fundamental concepts in Calculus, Linear Algebra, Complex Analysis, and Differential Equations. This course does not account towards the degree award. However, students must pass a test at the end of the course. If they do not pass, they will need to attend an additional three-hour course to strengthen their fundamental mathematical skills.
