Master of Science in Green Electronics Technical University of Munich

MSc in Green Electronics is a highly specialised programme, which is jointly offered by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Technical University of Munich (TUM). This programme aims to educate next generation semiconductor researchers and engineers to work in the research areas of novel electronic/optoelectronic devices and systems, with particular focus on the energy, sensing, monitoring and manufacturing fields. Students will gain comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of micro-/nano-fabrication technology and advanced theories for renewable energy, power semi-conductors as well as organic semi-conductor devices and systems. The topics covered in this programme deal with the state of art research and industrial developments. Upon successful completion of the programme, students will be awarded a joint Master's degree from NTU and TUM.

Disclaimer: Specialisation and Elective modules available for selection are subject to availability. Unforeseen circumstances that affect the availability of the module include an insufficient number of students taking up the module and/or the unavailability of the professor. TUM Asia reserves the right to cancel or postpone the module under such circumstances.

The first two semesters comprise all theoretical and practical modules and will be held in Singapore together with the partner university Nanyang Technological University (NTU). After the coursework, each student has to complete a mandatory internship in the industry or with an academic institution and a six-month Master's thesis.

All coursework is conducted in English, and students will be taught by German and Singaporean lecturers.

Nanyang Technological University (NTU)

After the coursework, all students have to complete a mandatory internship with the industry or with an academic institution. It is required for the students to complete an internship related to their field of study at TUM Asia.

One can secure an internship in Singapore, Germany, or in any other country in Asia, Europe or the rest of the world. Students who have secured scholarships with their sponsoring companies will conduct their internships in the companies (this can be conducted in any branch of the company worldwide). Students without industrial sponsorships are to look for internships independently. It is expected that all students take an active approach in this search for internships. TUM Asia will help provide students with any possible internship opportunities, but students are to lead the search for internships on their own.

Applicants must have a Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering or Physics and a good understanding of semiconductor physics, electromagnetic and organic chemistry (or electrochemistry).

For applicants with a Chinese, Vietnamese or Indian university degree, an "Akademische Versuchsstelle" (APS) certificate is required.

As Singapore is a relatively small island city with easy access via public transport, students are able to reside in any residential zones convenient to them. TUM Asia has no in-campus accommodation facilities and our students search for their own accommodation that fits their budget and preferred area of ​​residence. They may choose to live in student hostels when they first arrive in Singapore and, after they have made new friends at university, they rent and share a private apartment with some other friends/classmates. The living expenses in Singapore (including accommodation) are approximately 1,500 to 2,200 SGD per month. The actual amount will vary across individuals.

Founded in 1868, Technical University of Munich (TUM) is one of Europe's leading research universities. In international rankings (QS World Ranking 2026, Times Higher Education 2026, and Shanghai Ranking 2022), TUM regularly places among the best universities in Germany. As one of the most research-intensive and most innovative universities in Europe, TUM strives to create sustainable solutions for society through excellence in education and research. In 2006, 2012, 2019 and 2026, it won recognition as a German "Excellence University".

TUM's unwavering commitment to the betterment of society has led to the establishment of its first and only overseas campus, TUM Asia, offering Bachelor's and Master's degrees conferred by TUM and other top universities in Singapore. Since opening its doors in 2002, TUM Asia has since produced close to 3,000 graduates in the area of ​​engineering and natural sciences from different countries.

As the first German academic venture abroad, TUM Asia is supported by the Singapore Government through the Economic Development Board (EDB), and by the German Government through the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

The overseas campus TUM Asia currently has more than 900 active students in its various programmes.

Nestled off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore is often endearingly known as the “Little Red Dot”, as it remains one of the smallest countries in the world. Despite its small size, the 710 square kilometre metropolis is constantly bursting with economic activities straddling electronics, chemical industry and engineering.
