The Singapore International Graduate Award (SINGA)
is a collaboration between the Agency for Science, Technology &
Research (A*STAR), the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the
National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Singapore University of
Technology and Design (SUTD). PhD training will be carried out in
English at your chosen lab at A*STAR Research Institutes, NTU, NUS or
SUTD. Students will be supervised by distinguished and world-renowned
researchers in these labs. Upon successful completion, students will be
conferred a PhD degree by either NTU, NUS or SUTD.
"We want to encourage more such exchanges, to build
friendships and mutual understanding. This is why we are introducing a
new Singapore International Graduate Award (or SINGA), for international
students to do their PhD training in a multi-disciplinary environment
in Singapore. 240 SINGA Awards will be given every year to top students
from all over the world. I hope that this will enhance the close
educational ties between our countries and will bring our young talents
even closer together."
