INSTITUTEINFORMATION
OF DEFENCE AND STRATEGIC STUDIES
GENERAL
As we enter the 21st century, the bases of international security are undergoing profound changes. The end of the
Cold War, the emergence of new power centres in East Asia, the outbreak of ethnic and nationalistic conflicts
around the globe, the rise of religiously motivated terrorism, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction,
are some of the factors that have transformed the nature of conflict in the international arena. The global security
architecture is in a state of flux, due to the rising power and influence of countries such as China, Japan and
Germany. Security is also no longer a matter of military force alone. Economic and ecological concerns, migration,
drug trafficking and other non-military issues have become more salient in the security agenda.
It is with this in mind that the Master of Science in Strategic Studies and Master of Science in International
Relations programmes were conceived. The M.Sc. (Strategic Studies) aims to develop security analysts conversant
with pressing strategic issues in the Asia-Pacific and beyond, and to introduce graduates to current thinking
across the whole spectrum of strategic and security-related issues. The M.Sc. (International Relations) aims to
equip graduates with a systematic understanding of the theories purporting to explain the nature of interactions
between states as well as non-state actors in an increasingly globalized international system.
Master of Science (International Political Economy Programme)
International Political Economy (IPE) is a field of study that explores the issues and problems raised by the
interaction of an increasingly globalised world economy on the one hand, and the territorially based international
states system on the other. This particular structural feature of the world economy requires a method of analysis
that explicitly integrates economics and politics as well as the international and domestic levels of analysis.
Conventional fields of study, such as International Economics (especially the neoclassical paradigm) and
International Relations, do not emphasise these inter-linkages in their methodology. Consequently, their
understandings of many real world developments that operate at the interface between politics and economics on
the one hand, and between the structures and processes that occur within the state and at the international level
on the other, remain limited.
By emphasising theoretically rigorous, multi-disciplinary analysis that takes these inter-linkages into account, IPE
offers rich understandings of contemporary developments in world economics and politics, such as the uneven
impact of globalisation on states and societies, the growing resistance to global economic integration and neoliberal
economic reforms in many parts of the developed and developing world, and the ongoing contest between different
actors over the norms and rules underpinning global governance.
Structure
The M.Sc. (Strategic Studies), M.Sc. (International Relations) and M.Sc. (International Political Economy)
programmes can be taken either on a full-time or part-time basis, beginning in July each year. Examinations take
place at the end of each trimester. The minimum period of candidature for full-time students is one year and the
maximum period is three years. The minimum period of candidature for part-time students is two years and the
maximum period is four years. Applicants intending to pursue their studies part-time should note that classes are
conducted between 9am – 6pm on weekdays.
Degree Requirements
The programmes leading to the degrees of M.Sc. (Strategic Studies), M.Sc. (International Relations) and M.Sc
(International Political Economy) comprise:
(a)
(c)
two core courses;
special topic and
(b) four electives;
(d) a dissertation of 10,000 words
Who Would Benefit
The programmes will benefit public officials working in the areas of security, defence, foreign and foreign economic
relations; students of international relations, strategic studies, foreign policy and international political economy;
and corporate planners and business professionals interested in the Asia-Pacific region. (Each program will also
serve as a firm foundation for those who may wish to pursue a PhD thereafter).

Nanyang Technopreneurship Centre
dedicated to technopreneurship development in the region
Mounting global competition and rapid technological changes mark
the dawn of Nanyang Technopreneurship Center (NTC). A multidisciplinary university-level center, NTC was established in January
2001 through the sponsorship of NTU and the Economic Development
Board to be the focal point of technopreneurship development within
the University and the region, where creativity and entrepreneurship
will thrive, leading to the creation of new business ventures that will
provide the new engine of growth for Singapore.
The Center’s mission to foster, promote and nurture a culture of
innovation and technopreneurship through entrepreneurship
education, has a vision to be the leading institution in the Asia-Pacific
for technopreneurship and innovation education. Ultimately, NTC aims
to groom individuals with the gumption and business acumen to turn
their novel ideas into successful high-tech ventures.
Graduate Diploma Technopreneurship & Innovation Program (TIP)
The Technopreneurship & Innovation Program (TIP) is a 4-month fulltime graduate diploma program, jointly conducted by NTU and the
University of Washington (UW). A program unlike most others, TIP is
a rigorous fast-paced entrepreneurial program of study and real life
experiences covering the entire venture creation process.
TIP picks out individuals with the passion and innate drive for entrepreneurship and provides them with the
knowledge and experience they need to launch new products or businesses in today’s competitive marketplace.
It prepares the participants for entrepreneurship by developing their managerial and technical business skills,
their base of corporate contacts, and the experience and confidence that will help them to succeed in their
endeavors.
Besides classes at NTU, the TIP Program includes 1 week of seminar sessions at Stanford University as well as
corporate and start-up visits at the Silicon Valley, and a 5-week immersion program at the University of Washington
(UW).
The TIP curriculum has been objectively designed to ensure that learning experiences are directly tied to ‘real-life’
conditions, goals and projects, allowing its students to implement the learning during the intensive program,
reinforcing their educational experiences. Participants in the Technopreneurship & Innovation Program are not
placed into a curriculum of classes. They embarked upon a journey supported by experiential learning and the
vital components of an entrepreneurship ecosystem, which involved interaction with entrepreneurs, mentors,
innovators, intellectual-property attorneys, venture capitalists, private investors, business leaders and relevant
government agencies that led them through an entire process of discovery and learning.
Generous zero-bond scholarships, each worth up to S$20,000 is available. Graduates are conferred a joint NTUUW graduate diploma.
