SUTD is a specialised and research-intensive university, with a multi-disciplinary human-centric and design-focused curriculum. SUTD offers unique architecture and engineering, and more recently, the world's first design and artificial intelligence degree programmes that equip students with the relevant skills to create products, systems and services to address real-world challenges.
Grounded in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), SUTD's hands-on curriculum contains broadening exposure to the liberal arts, humanities and social sciences with the purpose of training critical thinkers, and incorporates elements of entrepreneurship, management and design thinking. The first 3 semesters are taught in a distinctive “cohort-based classroom” format, where students study foundational subjects and learn collaboratively in small group cohorts of about 50 students.
