Industrial Postgraduate Programme
Funded Industrial PhD Opportunities (Industrial Postgraduate Programme)
The Industrial Postgraduate Programme (IPP) is a fully funded PhD programme provided by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and Enterprise Singapore (ESG). The programme supports companies to build a pool of postgraduate manpower with critical R&D skillsets in preparation for R&D roles in the industry. NewRIIS is approved by EDB and ESG as a research institute partner in the programme. We provide academic input and research supervision for IPP research degrees.
Concurrently, IPP aims to help companies attract highly skilled doctorate/graduate talent to fill their R&D roles. The incentive allows companies to fund trainees pursuing their doctorate/graduate studies based on projects jointly scoped out by the company and the company’s chosen university partner.
The grant will last up to four years (full-time) for PhD programme and two years (full-time) for MPhil programme in NewRIIS and are available in the following disciplines:
- chemical engineering and advanced materials
- marine and offshore engineering
- naval architecture
- mechanical and system design
- electrical and power engineering
- AI and machine learning
- Energy systems and sustainability
For more information on the Terms & Conditions, please refer to Fees, Funding, and Student Contract.
