All required supporting documents should be attached to the completed application form. Certificates submitted in a language other than English must be accompanied by a translated and certified copy. All supporting documents (original & photocopies) submitted by candidates will not be returned. Further documentary evidence may be requested at a later date. Original official transcript, or its certified true copies, of candidates with qualifications other than those from NUS would be requested at the point when offer of admission is made. This should be sent directly from the issuing University to NUS in a SEALED envelope with its flap bearing the security seal of the university and the signature of the Registrar or representative

TOEFL and IELTS Tests

The quantity and quality of academic work at NUS cannot be accomplished without the mastery of the English language. The point is deliberately emphasized because graduate students at NUS submit assignments, take written examinations and are expected to participate actively in classroom discussions. Applicants who graduated from Universities where English is not the main medium of instruction (e.g. China, Myanmar, Indonesia, etc) are required to demonstrate their English proficiency by means of TOEFL* / IELTS** test scores.

Applicants who graduated from English-medium Universities may be required to sit for the TOEFL/IELTS test, at the discretion of the Faculty of Engineering, so as to assess their suitability for university study.

Applicants are expected to check on the acknowledgement slip sent back to them as to whether they are required to sit for TOEFL/IELTS test. Those who are expected to do so, please submit the original/photocopies of their TOEFL/ IELTS scoresheets by the stipulated date. *TOEFL is the abbreviation for the Test of English as a Foreign Language. **IELTS is the abbreviation for the International English Language Testing System.

The minimum score expected is:

i. 600 (for TOEFL paper-based test) or ii. 250 (for TOEFL computer-based test) or

iii. 92 (for TOEFL internet-based test) or iv. 6.5 score for IELTS (Academic).

Fees – Session 2013/2014

While you are pursuing your studies in NUS, you are liable to pay fees. The amount payable may depend on your nationality as well as whether you have previously enjoyed a Singapore government subsidy or sponsorship by a government agency. In essence, students either pay fees as set out in Tables 1 and 4 or Tables 2 and 4, while the M.Sc.(IP Mgt) students pay fees set out in Tables 3 and 4 (pages 8 and 9). Category 1 – Full Tuition Fees Students who have previously enjoyed government subsidy or sponsorship by Ministry of Education (MOE) or any Singapore government agency (such as scholarships offered by the Ministries, Public Service Commission and Statutory Boards) in a graduate programme (either Master’s or Ph.D. degrees) will not be eligible for subsidy in another graduate programme at the same or lower level. Instead, such students will be liable to pay Full Tuition Fees. For example, students who had previously enjoyed subsidy/scholarship in a Master’s programme and had attained the Master’s degree will not be eligible for subsidy in another programme at Master’s or lower level. The Full Fees rates determined by MOE in Academic Year 2013/2014 are shown in Table 1 (page 8). The Full Fees rates payable for subsequent Academic Years are subject to revision.

MASTER OF SCIENCE (SYSTEMS DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT) α

Overview Engineering systems is an important new field of study focusing on the complex engineering systems in a broad human, societal and industrial context. It takes an integrative holistic view of large-scale, complex, technologically enabled systems which have significant enterprise-level interactions and socio-technical interfaces. The establishment of this new field has been a significant step toward evolving the holistic engineering-management science needed to address the complex systems challenges of this century. The expertise to understand, analyse and build large scale systems calls upon the highest level of integration of core engineering competencies with social, economical and policy considerations. Course Requirements A full-time or part-time candidate for the degree of Master of Science in SDM must successfully complete a programme of study consisting of 40 MCs: (a) All 4 core modules (16MCs); (b) The remaining 24 MCs can be obtained from the list of elective modules, divided into two foundation areas; a minimum of 8 MCs is to be obtained from each foundation area. Subject to the approval of the Programme Manager for MSc (SDM), students may be allowed to take up to 8 MCs outside the prescribed curriculum, in lieu of modules listed in the foundation areas, to complete the MSc degree.

IMMIGRATION MATTERS

International students who are successful in gaining admission to their respective full-time M.Sc. programmes must note that their offer of admission is conditional upon the successful application of their Student’s Passes.

The Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) has implemented a web-based system for Student’s Pass application called the Student’s Pass Online Application & Registration (SOLAR).

When full-time international students have been offered admission to our programmes, the University will proceed with the student pass application via SOLAR and also write to inform candidates how to complete the application process at their end. After candidates complete the application through SOLAR, ICA will process the application.

For candidates from countries which require a visa to enter Singapore (details can be found at http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=96&secid=94), the University will be applying for the visa cum Student’s Pass via SOLAR. If the Student’s Pass application is approved, the In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter, which also serves as a single-journey entry visa, will be sent to the relevant candidates. This letter and the valid passport must be presented to the Duty Officer at the immigration checkpoint upon arrival in Singapore.

For candidates from a non-visa required country (e.g. Malaysia, Indonesia etc.), candidates can collect the approval letter at the point of registration with the University.

On your arrival in Singapore, you will be given a Social Visit Pass for a minimum of 2 weeks at the airport or point of entry. You may be asked to show your Letter of Admission. After registering as a student and obtaining your student registration card, you must apply for a Student’s Pass at least 4 working days before the expiry of your Social Visit Pass at one of the following centres :

1. Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) boothNational University of Singapore(Venue to be confirmed)

Available before start of semester (dates to be confirmed).

2. Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA)ICA Building4th Storey, 10 Kallang RoadSingapore 208718Tel : 63916100http://www.ica.gov.sg

Make an e-appointment at the ICA website (https://eappointment.ica.gov.sg/ibook/index.do)before going to ICA Building.Your passport will be returned within 1 week. Bring along your Letter of In-Principle Approval (with Graduate Studies Office’s endorsement).

Some applications for Student’s Pass may take a longer duration to process. In some instances, the processing time may take up to 6 weeks. For such situations, the candidate’s Social Visit Pass will be extended by ICA accordingly.

Please note that spouses and/or children of international M.Sc. students are not sponsored by the University for their visa applications. Application of their Social Visit Pass (SVP) has to be made directly at the Visitor Services Centre, 4th floorImmigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and a bond is required. The amount of the bond is to be established by ICA. Student must have already obtained a Student Pass issued by the ICA at the time of application. A local sponsor (Singapore Citizen/Permanent Resident) is required in order to apply for a SVP for spouse and/or children. The SVP granted will normally be for up to a maximum period of 6 months. It is renewable, subject to ICA’s approval.

Details on immigration matters can be found at the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority website at http://www.ica.gov.sg
