Diploma in
Micro and Nanotechnology (R30)
About the Programme
The semiconductor industry is a significant
contributor to Singapore's electronics output and is
one of the largest employers in Singapore.
Currently, Singapore has twelve wafer fabrication
facilities and twenty assembly and test operations.
In addition, recent advances in thin film technology have created exciting new opportunities. Thin film technology can be used for applications in many industries such as optical coatings, displays and information storage. This technology is also intimately linked with one of the key emerging technologies nanotechnology.
Programme Objectives
The Diploma in Micro and Nanotechnology (DMNT) provides you with the necessary skills and knowledge in this fast growing field of micro and nanotechnologies. It aims to nurture knowledgeable and enterprising young professionals who can apply their skills to meet the demands of industry. By the end of the course, you will be adept in the art of problem solving and will be effective learners in the ever-evolving arena of the high-tech industries.
The programme will provide a well-rounded education comprising both technical know-how and general capabilities. Discipline and specialisation-specific modules will equip our graduates with an understanding of wafer fabrication, thin film technology, electronic and semiconductor materials as well as emerging applications in nanotechnology. General modules will help you prepare the ground for innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship, as well as train you in communication and lifelong learning skills.
Career Prospects
DMNT graduates can look forward to excellent career
prospects in the semiconductor industries, industries
using thin film and coating technologies as well as
emerging industries in nanotechnology. They can be
employed as assistant or associate engineers in
diverse areas such as product design and development,
equipment testing, technical marketing, applications
support and manufacturing.
Graduates may also choose to pursue further
education. All our diploma programmes are designed to
meet the requirements for advanced standing in local
and overseas Institutions of Higher Learning (IHLs).
