Overview

The PhD students at the Interdisciplinary Graduate Programme at Nanyang Technological University will be required to complete two out of their six graduate courses in a second discipline, as compared to a regular PhD student that does all six courses in the core discipline. In addition to taking courses beyond one core discipline, the Graduate Programme’s PhD students can choose to complete one year of academic research in top universities overseas.

International Impact

In today’s increasingly complex world, problems are often multifaceted. To effectively address these challenges, it calls upon reflective and multidimensional insights into various disciplines. Spurring innovative ideas and paramount discoveries, IGP aims to transform the world today while shaping tomorrow.

Interrelated Focus

IGP champions research that is interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary in nature. It features research that spans from humanities to science and technology. Much unlike conventional discipline-based programmes, IGP provides a broad yet tightly interrelated learning experience.

Interesting Research

At IGP, opportunities for meaningful research abound. Beyond a choice of the centres and institutes under Sustainable Earth, New Media and Future Healthcare, an intensive seminar culture with ample interaction opportunities characterises the research journey at IGP. Fuelling the research passion of our students, IGP adopts the same best practices as that of leading overseas institutions.
