Overview
The National University of Singapore (NUS) Master of Science (Maritime Technology and Management ), or MSc (MTM) programme, is jointly hosted by the Centre for Maritime Studies (CMS) and the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management (ISEM) at NUS Engineering.
The Master of Science (Maritime Technology and Management) or MSC (MTM) seeks to train and equip graduates with key skillsets to enable next-generation port capabilities in Singapore, such as industrial systems development, big data analytics tools, and emerging port technologies (e.g., digitalization to train workers).
The International Maritime Centre (IMC) envisions Singapore to be the Global Maritime Hub for Connectivity, Innovation, and Talent, and a hub of excellence for shipping, port, offshore, and maritime-related businesses. The Centre recommends Singapore to leverage on cutting-edge systems and infrastructure to become a key node in the global maritime network. Additionally, the Centre sees the need for strong innovative players and a talented workforce equipped with future-ready skills and a global mindset. The MSc (MTM) aims to nurture talent with strong analytics expertise to prepare the Singapore maritime industry towards digitalization and technology innovation.
