Master of Science in Precision Scientific Instrumentation

This coursework master's degree is run by the physical and mathematical sciences school at NTU and covers how advanced technical instruments work and are operated, in the physical sciences and in high-tech manufacturing. Precision instruments underpin the design, development and manufacture of new products, and the programme looks at the physical principles behind them and how to use them. The coursework draws on several science and engineering fields, among them microelectronics, optoelectronics, solid-state physics and materials science. It suits new graduates and experienced professionals in high-tech manufacturing sectors such as semiconductors, non-volatile memory and photonics. The programme is meant to be completed in one year full-time or two years part-time. Full-time students typically attend four to five classes weekly and part-time students two to three.
