This course will elevate you to a domain expert in your chosen specialisation.
Whether you’re a working professional looking for a competitive edge or a recent graduate, you’ll greatly benefit from this course. Choose from emerging specialisations in energy and sustainability, industrial and robotics engineering, or Internet of Things (IoT) to expand your knowledge and advance your complex problem-solving skills in a cross-cultural environment.
Energy and sustainability
For decades, we have relied on fossil fuels to power the world. Today, energy is the dominant contributor to climate change, accounting for around 60 per cent of total global greenhouse gas emissions with devastating impacts on our health and environment.
We must turn to clean and renewable energy if we are to build a sustainable future. If your organisation has made a commitment to embrace green technologies and contribute to achieving net-zero emissions, this specialised Master course will equip you with the necessary skills to take the lead.
You’ll receive advanced education in sustainable and renewable energy, power generation, energy utilisation and transformation, energy efficiency and management, industrial ecology and green buildings.
With multidisciplinary knowledge and skills in energy and sustainability to manage complex energy-related problems, you’ll be empowered to lead development in the energy sector with skills and insights in managing industrial challenges, leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Industrial and robotics engineering
The manufacturing and services sector has seen rapid evolution over the past decade as organisations seek enhancements in industrial practices to deliver better products efficiently.
Competition has continued to intensify and with it, the need for engineers in this sector to upskill themselves to stay relevant. This specialised Master course in industrial and robotics engineering answers that demand, providing you with critical knowledge in the optimisation of industrial engineering system designs from the perspective of productivity, quality analysis and system improvement.
At the end of this course, you’ll acquire the skills, knowledge and attitude to continuously develop yourself to keep up with the requirements of this fast-moving industry. Specifically, you’ll be able to design, implement and improve systems in the manufacturing and services sectors to help your organisation stay ahead of the curve.
IoT systems and technologies (available starting Feb 2025)
The Internet of Things (IoT) has completely changed our lives, introducing us to a world of smart homes, digital assistants, self-driving cars, wearables and more.
But IoT’s impact extends beyond convenience; it’s also revolutionising industries – from healthcare to manufacturing – by leveraging the power of data and automation. Using IoT, industries are reducing costs, increasing productivity and agility, optimising their products and services, and scaling up their businesses.
There is an enormous demand for engineers skilled in designing comprehensive IoT systems, proficient in core enabling technologies like IoT hardware, communications technology and intelligent data processing, and adept at seamlessly integrating these areas. Your expertise will be highly sought after worldwide.
