SUTD is a specialised research-intensive university, with a multi-disciplinary human-centric and design-focused curriculum. SUTD offers unique degree programmes in fields such as architecture and engineering, as well as the world’s first design and artificial intelligence programme. These programmes equip students with the skills needed to create products, systems and services that can address complex real-world challenges confronting the world today.
Grounded in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), SUTD's hands-on curriculum includes 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.
