GUIDE

TOWARDS A

BETTER WORLD

BY DESIGN.

The power of design is deeply

rooted in understanding the

human experience and needs,

and then creating innovative

products, services and systems to

meet and improve them. That’s why

forward-thinking companies and

nations are investing heavily in design

to drive innovation and growth.

DESIGN

GOES

BEYOND

AESTHETICS

— IT TRANSFORMS

THE WAY WE LIVE.

To meet the challenges of the future,

we offer a world-class education built upon an

interdisciplinary curriculum, multi-disciplinary

research and a unique cohort-based learning

approach based on design.

Our unique academic structure provides you with opportunities to design the future you envision.

Our programmes are created around these four key concepts:

CURRICULUM

The first three terms are common to all students and build

a foundation in Science, Mathematics, Humanities, Arts and

Social Sciences (HASS), Digital Literacy and Design.

The world is literally your classroom. All Freshmore students

enjoy subsidised overseas immersion trips to ASEAN and

China as part of the curriculum. The Freshmore Asian

Cross-Curricular Trips (FACT) lets you gain global exposure

within your first year in SUTD, a pre-cursor for you to better

understand the region and start building networks.

SUTD’s hands-on and multi-disciplinary education has given me an edge in implementing solutions quickly and effectively, allowing me to transition swiftly from an intern at nuTonomy to a full-time employee.

At SUTD, we are blessed to have a close relationship with our teaching faculty. Often when we are stuck with questions from a class or a project, seeking help from our professor is always an option. Even if it is at an ungodly hour. I have more than once gotten a reply from Prof Tee Hui at 4am, half an hour after we sent that email.

^ Students who embarked on an overseas exchange during the previous vacation (Y2 Sep-Dec) may opt to continue with overseas internship in Term 6 or undertake a longer internship (Y3 Jan-Aug). Students may also embark on an exchange in Term 6 with the possibility of a follow-up summer overseas internship (Y3 May-Aug).

MANDATORY CORE CURRICULUM

Common Freshmore subjects will be taken in the first three terms, with majors selected after Term 3. This approach provides a broad and rigorous education, and aims to give you a strong base to select and excel in your major of choice from Term 4.

You will take up to seven HASS classes throughout your undergraduate education. Complementing the technical subjects, this exposure provides a comprehensive understanding of the multi-dimensional world you are creating, designing and building for. Be a modern tech leader conscious of the social role and impact of technology and design innovations.

In your graduating year, you will participate in a 2-term Capstone project collaborating with students from different majors to solve real-world challenges from industry partners, using your respective skills.

Watch how our students from different majors come together to solve real-world challenges

VARIABLE CURRICULUM

At SUTD, we believe in giving you the flexibility for different pathways and that one size does not fit all. Besides the selection of majors and electives, you have the option to take up minors and specialisations that suit your passions.

• Minor in Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Minor in Design Innovation, Ventures and Entrepreneurship (DIVE)
• Minor in Healthcare Informatics
• Minor in Engineering Product (EP)
• Minor in Engineering Systems (ES)
• Minor in Information Systems (IS)
• Minor in Design, Technology and Society (DTS)
• Minor in Digital Humanities (DH)

SPECIALISATIONS

• Focus tracks offered within each major

Or build a portfolio under an industry aligned with SUTD’s next phase of growth - Aviation, Cities, and Healthcare, supported by capabilities in Artificial Intelligence/Data Science.

OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM

Broaden your perspectives and be challenged beyond the classroom through:

• Fifth Row (i.e. co-curricular activities)
• Research
• Global exposure
• Internships
