(Translated summary)

Singapore universities are rolling out more postgraduate programmes taught in Chinese to meet rising regional demand, attracting both international and local students. SUTD will launch a bilingual Master of Science in Technology and Design (MTD) programme this September, with its first intake of about 60 students including students from Singapore and China. These programmes aim to equip Chinese-speaking professionals with industry-relevant skills and cross-cultural perspectives, appealing to learners such as 39-year-old Cai Mingjie, who returned to studies to sharpen his Chinese and broaden his horizons.
