Education Collaboration with MIT

Our education collaboration with MIT focused on the development, collaborative offering and transfer of key areas and subjects to be taught in the undergraduate curriculum. MIT faculty played a significant role in developing a blueprint for the curriculum, including a structure for the curriculum and the degrees to be offered. More than 90% of our undergraduate curriculum was originally developed by MIT.

During the 7-year collaboration, there was a regular flow of faculty and post-graduate fellows from MIT that engaged in a range of activities, such as co-teaching of subjects with SUTD faculty. There were also opportunities for exchanges between students at MIT and SUTD. Such student and faculty exchanges encouraged within SUTD the same spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship that has helped to make MIT a top-ranking university internationally.

The successful conclusion of the education collaboration with MIT marked the first phase of the development of SUTD.

Collaborations

We partner other institutions of higher learning to deliver a myriad of opportunities for our students, faculty, partners and staff. Collaborations cover the areas of developing and advancing curriculum, research and exchanges.

In 2021, our collaboration numbers have increased to a total of 61 institutions across 22 countries, which encompass 35 exchange partners in 15 countries, 12 FACT programmes in 5 countries and over 50 summer/winter programmes in 14 countries.
