The fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, is considered to have begun in 2011 with the seamless integration of cyber-physical systems into cyber-physical production systems by a basic German initiative. This transition has given rise to a smart sector that values cooperation and innovation. The National University of Singapore offers a number of Master's level programmes that will be in great demand in today's Industry 4.0.

Multidisciplinary Master's Programmes Offered By NUS to Prepare Students for Industry 4.0

From the onset of Industry 4.0, industries have defined frameworks in place to merge physical assets with digital technology for a cyber-physical production system. This framework heavily relies on the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence (AI), network technologies, data transfer, and other technologies. The renowned National University of Singapore is offering many PG-level MS courses that will be highly sought after in today's Industry 4.0 to assist train current and future generations to lead the way.

These programmes include the following:

  • Master of Science (MSc) in Maritime Technology and Management

  • Master of Computing

  • Master of Biomedical Engineering
