ModularMaster Programme

Overview
Available ModularMaster Programmes

Overview

The ModularMaster programme is a unique micro-credential initiative that refers to the suite of short, modular professional development courses that participants may choose to take up individual modules separately, or stack up to a Graduate Certificate, or choose to take up the ModularMaster (MM) Certificate as a full programme. The ModularMaster programme is not a master’s degree programme.

 

Graduate Certificate

A Graduate Certificate is a short-term programme; designed to help participants acquire deep skills in a specialisation.

 

Participants will earn subject credits and upon fulfilling the requirements of the programme, attain a Graduate Certificate in the chosen field of study.

 

To further deepen the expertise and knowledge, participants can also choose to do two or more Graduate Certificates in the same domain and acquire the ModularMaster Certificate in that domain.

 

ModularMaster Certificate

A ModularMaster Certificate is an academic credential awarded by the Singapore University of Technology and Design. An MM certificate programme is designed with working professionals in mind, helping these participants acquire knowledge and skills essential for their workplace.

 

Participants can take skills-based modular courses to aggregate subject credits of each module and upon meeting the requirements of minimum subject credits and other criteria such as design projects and assessments, an MM certificate/credential will be awarded. The subject credits for the ModularMaster programmes are not equivalent to those in SUTD’s undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

 

For participants who prefer to follow a designated pathway, we have designed the Graduate Certificate programme as a pathway leading towards a ModularMaster Certificate.
