Is it possible to do a research-based master's program or PhD with my background in Singapore?
25 Jun 2026 · Answered by Leeladhar S · 1 min read
Yes, with your strong academic background - a 9.2 CGPA in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and 12 months of work experience - you are well-qualified for research-based Master's or PhD programs in Singapore.
Top universities like NTU and NUS offer research-focused options in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. These programs typically require a solid academic record and relevant undergraduate degree, both of which you have. Your profile makes you a competitive applicant.
If you need guidance on application steps or specific requirements, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for tailored support.
