Frequently asked questions
How can I learn more about the programme?
If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us at muspp@sutd.edu.sg
Is there an opportunity to do fieldwork?
Yes! The courses are designed to incorporate a component of fieldwork. In the third term, you will also be undertaking a master practicum project that will require fieldwork.
Is a Master’s thesis required for graduation?
Instead of a thesis, you will get an opportunity to work in multi-disciplinary teams in a research practicum project to address current planning and policy issues faced by government and industry partners. For students thinking of pursuing a PhD in a related field, the option of pursuing an independent research project is possible, if a suitable subject area advisor can be found.
Is the curriculum mostly focused on Singapore?
The curriculum is designed to enable students to understand the Singapore model of development, but also to learn and apply lessons and theories on urban planning and development from a global perspective. A course on leadership and planning in Singapore, together with an urban symposium that introduces students to different development projects around Singapore, will provide a strong grounding in local discourse. Other coursework will draw upon historical and global examples to provide a strong foundation for those with an interest in comparative and international studies.
Can I take classes in other pillars or clusters outside of the MUSPP?
Requests to take electives in other pillars or clusters in SUTD will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
