Structured Internship
The first term is situated in internship. This experience is used as a way to understanding the industry in a hands-on way with time to consider and develop a situational awareness to help guide the next two terms. Internships can be provided by SUTD connections and can be perused inside and outside of Singapore. During this time, students return to SUTD periodically and a thesis challenge and topic is collaboratively worked on between student and faculty.
Term 9
The second term centres on an option studio held by leading academics and visiting local and international practitioners. Option courses drive deeper understanding into advanced architectural topics and applied technologies. Alongside this are seminars introducing the thesis project methodology, with each student partnering with an individual faculty mentor to develop the thesis proposal and research. There are also the required courses to cover the technical and legal aspects required of an accredited masters course.
Term 10
The final term is the centre piece of the masters’ course. It is a focused term allowing students time and freedom to explore their previously developed thesis ideas into a full design. Each year the thesis is focused by a collective topic relating to needs or broad challenges within architecture and society shared at the start of the course. Taking the initial research and situational experience from the first two terms and culminating in a design solution at a building or master planning level. This is presented in front of peers and an international jury.
