Progression pathway to Master's Programme

For candidates who wish to further develop their in-depth and specific knowledge, they can apply to the relevant SUTD Master’s degree programme where they can continue to pursue the second half of a Master’s degree programme to accumulate further Subject Credits and work towards earning a full Master’s degree.

Recognised subject credits earned from the MM certificate programme are also transferable to the relevant Master’s programme as advanced credits. This stackable approach of the modules will create flexibility for working adults. Currently, only the MM in Cybersecurity and MM in Innovation by Design offers such a pathway to attaining a Master's qualification in the same domain.

Frequently asked questions

How does MM work?

An MM programme typically requires a participant to earn 60 Subject Credits. There are several pathways to fulfill the requirements of attaining an MM credential. This is to help busy adult learners balance their work, family and education by offering as many possible options as we can. 

Learners can "mix and match" relevant courses from various recognised partner institutions and providers to acquire a ModularMaster certificate.

Partner Institution Open Learning Platforms
Up to 18 subject credits Up to 12 subject credits
Can anyone enroll in a ModularMaster programme?

The modules are open to members of the public, and since they are typically technical in nature, some basic scientific/technical knowledge, or relevant working experience, will be expected of the participants.

How much does it cost to get an MM?

Due to the unique training methodology adopted by SUTD Academy and the varying pathways that one can take to acquire the MM, an accurate estimate of the cost to get an MM is challenging.

How long does it take to attain an MM?

We allow a participant up to 2 years to accumulate the required 60 subject credits for an MM certificate.

What is the process of applying for a MM?

Do I just enroll to an MM programme just like this?
No, you don't have to. Unlike traditional programmes which require students to enroll right at the start, MM programmes are modular and flexible, you do not need to commit and sign up for a MM programme per se. This means you get the flexibility to build the programme by "mixing and matching" courses that you want, and then combine the relevant Subject Credits to qualify for the respective MM credential of your interest.

  1. You simply take the relevant courses that best fit your learning objectives from the recommended course guide
  2. Retain records (such as transcripts, certificates, applications), and
  3. Once you have accumulated 60 Subject Credits from the recommended course guide within 2 years, you can start your application with us for the award of the ModularMaster credentials.
