Academic Unit Structure and Requirement

The MSc in Enterprise AI is designed as a flexible, interdisciplinary, and industry-aligned
programme that equips students with both the strategic insight and practical tools needed to
lead AI transformation initiatives across diverse sectors. The programme adopts a modular
architecture comprising 30 Academic Units (AUs), delivered through five curriculum pillars.

The total number of AUs required for graduation is 30.

Core Curriculum Structure (30 AUs)

The MSc in Enterprise AI is structured around five foundational pillars that reflect the full AI
transformation lifecycle—from strategic visioning and data intelligence to implementation,

ethical governance, and applied capstone execution:

1) Strategy, Leadership & Transformation (7.5 AUs)

This pillar cultivates the strategic thinking, leadership, and change management
capabilities required to drive AI adoption in enterprise contexts. Courses explore how AI
technologies reshape business models, organisational processes, and innovation
strategies. Students gain skills in AI project planning, business alignment, and

transformation leadership.

Courses include:

• AI Automation and Application in Enterprise (3 AUs)
• Strategic Management and Leadership of AI and Digital Innovation (3 AUs)

• Emerging AI Technologies (1.5 AUs)

2) Data, Analytics & Intelligence (9 AUs)

This pillar develops analytical proficiency and data-driven decision-making competencies.
Students will engage with structured and unstructured data sources, including predictive
analytics, machine learning, and natural language/vision applications. Emphasis is placed

on real-world business use cases and quantitative reasoning in support of strategic insight.

Courses include:

• Contemporary Data Architecture, Management and Governance (3 AUs)
• Applied Predictive Analytics for Business Strategy (3 AUs)

• Next-Gen Analytics: From Language to Vision (3 AUs)

3) Platforms, Tools & Implementation (7.5 AUs)

Focused on application and operationalisation, this pillar trains students to work with
contemporary AI tools, no-code/low-code platforms, and enterprise-scale integration
technologies. It covers hands-on proficiency in deploying AI solutions, designing intelligent

systems, and evaluating platform interoperability across the business technology stack.

Courses include:

• Generative AI and Agentic AI (3 AUs)
• AI Ecosystems: Platforms, Integration, and Automation (1.5 AUs)

• AI Product Development and Agile Thinking (3 AUs)

4) Ethics, Governance & Responsible AI (3 AUs)

With increasing regulatory scrutiny and societal impact, this pillar ensures students
develop a principled understanding of responsible AI use. Students explore topics
including algorithmic bias, data ethics, cybersecurity, compliance, and governance
frameworks aligned with global standards (e.g., OECD, EU AI Act, Singapore Model AI

Governance Framework).

Courses include:

  • Responsible AI and Governance (1.5 AUs)
  • AI-Driven Cybersecurity: Safeguarding the Intelligent Enterprise (1.5 AUs)

5) AI Transformation Capstone (3 AUs)

The capstone is the integrative apex of the programme, where students apply their
accumulated knowledge to address a complex, real-world AI transformation challenge in
a selected industry or enterprise domain. Working independently or in teams, students
develop an AI strategy, design implementation roadmaps, and produce executive-level
deliverables, such as business cases or technical pilots.

    Admissions

    What does the admissions committee look for?
    Applications are reviewed holistically. Key considerations include your undergraduate institution, academic performance (GPA or degree results), and relevant experience (internships and/or full-time work). The committee also considers motivation, resilience, career goals, and cohort diversity.

    Is work experience required?
    Work experience is not required for full-time applicants. Relevant internships or professional experience are considered where applicable.

    Are GMAT or GRE scores required?
     No. GMAT and GRE scores are not required, though they may be submitted to support your application.

    If I have multiple short internships, is that helpful?
    Yes. Internships are considered relevant experience.

    If my grades improved over time, will that be considered?
    Yes. You should highlight any improvement and provide relevant context in your application.

    Are interviews required?
    Interviews are not routinely conducted. Shortlisted candidates may be invited for an interview if clarification is needed.

    Can I apply if my research experience is mainly theoretical or computational?
    Yes. Relevant research experience in theoretical, computational, or experimental areas is considered.

    Will research or industry experience be considered?
    Yes. Research and relevant industry experience are considered alongside academic results and English proficiency.

    If my undergraduate institution is not highly ranked but my GPA is strong, will my application still be considered?
    Yes. Applications are assessed holistically; a strong GPA can strengthen your application alongside relevant experience.

    If my GPA is modest but I have relevant work experience, will this strengthen my application?
    Yes. Relevant work experience is considered together with your academic record and supporting documents.

    Is there an age limit?
    No. There is no age criterion, provided you meet the admission requirements.

    If my undergraduate research is not fully aligned with the programme I applied for, what should I include?
    You may upload supporting documents and explain your background and motivation in your personal statement.

    What determines whether I complete the programme in 1 year or up to 2 years?
    This depends on your study pace and individual circumstances. Students who take a full academic load each trimester and complete all coursework and the capstone without interruption can typically finish within the minimum of three trimesters (one year).

    The maximum duration of six trimesters (two years) allows flexibility for students who study at a reduced load, for example due to work commitments, internships, health, or personal reasons, or who require additional time for project-based components. The programme is structured to enable timely completion while accommodating individual needs without compromising academic standards.

    Will NTU provide a project if I do not use my own case?
    Yes. By default, the Capstone is completed as a group project based on a complex, real-world AI transformation challenge in a selected industry or enterprise domain provided by the programme.

    Do I need strong quantitative skills?
    Some core modules involve analytical and quantitative work. Students should be comfortable with basic maths and quantitative analysis, and be prepared to build these skills.

     

    Applications

    When will I receive my application outcome?
    Offers are released in batches. Complete applications are reviewed first.

    Can I expedite my application if I have another offer deadline?
    Yes. If you have another offer with a deadline, you may email the programme team with the offer letter. Where possible, the team may expedite the review or provide an informal indication after internal review.

    Why is my application taking longer to review?
    We take every application into serious consideration and with a high number of applications we receive on a daily basis, the review process takes a significant time. Missing or incomplete documents can delay processing. Please ensure all required documents are uploaded.

     

    Scholarships

    This is subject to prevailing immigration regulations. International graduates must secure a suitable role and obtain a valid work pass. Please refer to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) website for the latest requirements.

    Is on-campus accommodation guaranteed?
    No. On-campus housing is limited and allocated through a University process (e.g. ballot). Many students stay off-campus. The University or programme may share external accommodation resources.
