The Singapore International Graduate
Award (SINGA) is a collaboration between the Agency for Science, Technology
& Research (A*STAR), the
Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the
National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Singapore University of Technology
and Design (SUTD). PhD training will be carried out in English at your chosen
lab at A*STAR Research Institutes, NTU, NUS or SUTD. Students will be
supervised by distinguished and world-renowned researchers in these labs.
Upon successful completion, students will be conferred a PhD degree by either
NTU, NUS or SUTD.
“We want to encourage more such
exchanges, to build friendships and mutual understanding. This is why we are
introducing a new Singapore International Graduate Award (or SINGA), for
international students to do their PhD training in a multi-disciplinary
environment in Singapore. 240 SINGA Awards will be given every year to top
students from all over the world. I hope that this will enhance the close
educational ties between our countries and will bring our young talents even
closer together.”
