Graduation Requirements

Learners enrolled in SIT’s IM and ID programmes are required to complete a stipulated number of academic modules. Each module is assigned a certain number of credits (CR), typically 6.

There is also a set of non-credit-bearing requirements for all postgraduate programmes, comprising micro-modules on topics that lie outside the formal curriculum which learners are required to complete. Learners may be required to pass certain non-credit-bearing requirements before they are allowed to take related credit-bearing modules.

In addition to fulfilling the credit-bearing and non-credit-bearing module requirements, learners are required to complete one or more research projects culminating in a Master’s Thesis or a Doctoral Thesis respectively.

The requirements for the IM and ID programmes are summarised in the table below. For more information on the programmes’ curriculum structure, which includes the list of modules to be taken and the duration of the programmes, learners may refer to the Curriculum Structure in the Student Intranet (SIT log-in credentials are required).
