The programme aims to prepare graduates for the emerging workplace of the fourth industrial revolution (also known as Industry 4.0), by equipping them with the skills and knowledge they need to keep pace with the changes occurring in various industries (particularly manufacturing) due to technological disruption, and to lead transformation to enhance productivity in the workplace.

The MSc (Smart Industries and Digital Transformation) programme incorporates learning opportunities both inside the classroom and out in the industry. A key component of the programme is the core Capstone Project Course, which enables students to apply all their learnings in collaboration with a sponsoring company to produce a prototype, minimum viable product or innovation solution.

It is intended to further aid companies in transforming their capabilities through their human capital, and support Singapore’s drive towards becoming a Smart Nation.

The MSc (Smart Industries and Digital Transformation) has also been identified to be offered as a Concurrent Degree Programme to NUS undergraduate students to help upscale their employability by equipping them with additional skills critical and necessary for rapid industry transformation.
