Postgraduate Programme
The Food Science and Technology (FST) Programme offers research programmes leading to MSc and PhD degrees.
A graduate student is expected to work independently, with supervision by up to three academic advisors on an original research project. A thesis is presented at the end of the candidature for formal examination. Graduate students are required to attend selected modules during the semester which are offered at the graduate level by the Department of Chemistry and other departments in the University.
NUS provides generous research scholarships for full-time students. Upon conversion to a PhD candidate, a top up of S$500 is added to the scholarship. (See Table 1)
