This specialised Master of Science trains the next generation of semiconductor researchers and engineers with a focus on energy, sensing, monitoring and manufacturing applications. Teaching covers micro- and nano-fabrication techniques as well as advanced theory for renewable energy, power semiconductor technologies and organic semiconductor devices and systems. Course content is aligned with current research and industrial developments to prepare students for work in cutting-edge labs and industry settings.
The programme is jointly delivered by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and is taught in English. In addition to technical modules and laboratory work, the curriculum includes non-technical subjects — for example product marketing, international management, patent law and cultural/globalisation topics — often delivered by industry practitioners. Upon successful completion, graduates receive a joint Master’s degree from NTU and TUM.
Laboratory elective modules
Core technical elective modules (choose six)
Specialisation technical elective modules (choose four)
Non-technical elective modules (choose two)
Award: joint Master’s degree from NTU and TUM upon successful completion.
Important note: Specialisation and elective modules are subject to availability. Modules may be cancelled or postponed (for example if too few students enroll or a lecturer is unavailable); TUM Asia reserves the right to make such changes.
The programme begins with two semesters of intensive coursework delivered in Singapore in collaboration with partner university Nanyang Technological University (NTU). This phase combines core theoretical modules with hands‑on practical classes and laboratory work, all taught in English by a mixed team of German and Singaporean lecturers. The joint delivery gives students exposure to both European and Asian academic perspectives and methods.
After completing the taught modules, every student undertakes a compulsory internship—either in industry or at an academic research group—followed by a six‑month Master’s thesis project. The internship provides applied experience and professional contacts, while the thesis allows you to develop and demonstrate independent research and project management skills within the field of green electronics.
Key learning outcomes include the ability to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical laboratory and industry experience in sustainable electronics, carry out independent research, and collaborate across international and interdisciplinary teams. Graduates emerge prepared for technical roles in industry, research positions, or further academic study.
Requirements and structure at a glance
This master's programme is aimed at students who hold a relevant undergraduate degree and already possess a strong technical foundation. Successful applicants will typically have completed a Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering or Physics and be comfortable with core topics that underpin green electronics research and development.
You should demonstrate a solid understanding of semiconductor physics, electromagnetism and chemistry relevant to electronic materials—either organic chemistry or electrochemistry. Applicants whose degrees were obtained at universities in China, Vietnam or India must also provide an Akademische Teststelle (APS) certificate as part of their application.

Graduates are prepared for roles as semiconductor and device engineers, R&D specialists, product developers and technical consultants in sectors such as renewable energy, power electronics, sensor systems and micro-/nano-fabrication. The programme’s industry links, practical lab work and mandatory internship make it well suited for positions in both global companies and hi‑tech startups.
The strong research foundation and interdisciplinary training also offer a clear pathway to doctoral studies or research positions in academia and industrial research laboratories. The international nature of the degree and the partner universities’ networks support career opportunities across Asia, Europe and beyond.
