President's Welcome
Dear potential SUTD student

Thank you for considering the Singapore University of Technology and Design.

Choosing a university is an important decision.  After all, the choice of the school you attend could significantly affect your life.  However, the decision and process need not be daunting.  When considering a university, look for one that is right for you – that matches your interests, that provides the right type of environment for you to learn and grow, and that will provide an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

For undergraduate students, SUTD with its collaborators, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Zhejiang University (ZJU), offers a world class education built upon a unique interdisciplinary curriculum enriched with hands-on experience with cutting-edge projects and research conducted in exceptional facilities.  At SUTD, learning is not confined to the classroom.  Internships and overseas student exchanges, entrepreneurial activities, and a variety of student-organizations will add considerably to your education.  SUTD will prepare you for an exciting career in industry, government, or continuing your education in graduate school.

For postgraduate students, SUTD will be a centre for learning, knowledge creation and dissemination - a melting pot for scholarship and practice.  SUTD will provide you with a stimulating environment to participate in meaningful leading-edge research with MIT, ZJU and industry partners.

For the right type of student, SUTD will be just the right type of university. To be sure, we need to understand one another – what our values are, what makes us come alive. As important as grades are, a handful of numbers alone do not tell the full story. To help us understand one another better requires more, so please tell us about yourself and your interests in your application.

As you embark on this exciting and sometimes challenging journey of self-discovery, we would like to be your companion. We hope the years you spend with us will be meaningful and transformational.

As you complete your application form, remember to be yourself – and have fun.

We look forward to learning all about you.

With warmest regards

Professor Thomas L Magnanti
President
