| Students
enrolled under the MDTS programme are required to complete
a programme of study comprising: |
| • |
M.Sc.(DTS)
degree programme |
| • |
M.Sc.(relevant field
of specialisation) degree programme |
| |
| Master
of Science (Defence Technology and Systems) |
| This
programme aims to provide students with a broad range
of knowledge pertaining to systems engineering and introduction
to key defence technologies. Here, the learning emphasis
is on systems thinking. The curriculum comprises 9 coursework
modules to be conducted at the National University of
Singapore (NUS) within the first 2 quarters of the programme.
The students then proceed to NPS where they will embark
on the "Integration Project" over the subsequent
2 quarters. |
| A
brief description of the Integration Project and coursework
modules under the M.Sc.(DTS) curriculum is shown in
Annex A. |
| |
| Master
of Science (relevant field of specialisation) |
| This
programme aims to provide students with in-depth
knowledge of a specialised field in defence technology.
Students are required to choose one of the specialization
tracks available which leads to the award of the degree
in the relevant field of specialisation. The curriculum
of the specialisation track is separate and independent
of the curriculum for the M.Sc.(DTS). Typically, it
consists of 10 coursework modules and a research thesis.
Conduct of the coursework modules and work on the research
thesis are done over 4 quarters, i.e. from Q3 to Q6. |
| Presently,
there are 11 approved specialisation tracks. Of these,
10 tracks are conducted entirely at NPS from Quarter
3 to Quarter 6. The 11th track, which is the Land Systems
specialisation, is conducted firstly at NPS during Q3
and Q4, and subsequently at NUS during Q5 and Q6. |
| Although
there are 11 approved specialisation tracks, not all
of them are available each year. Up to 4 or 5 specialisation
tracks may be offered each year, subject to the minimum
number of students required in the respective specialisation
track and the availability of lecturers. Annex
B describes the required coursework modules for
the various specialization tracks. |
