The SAF-NTU Continuing Education Master's Programme

The SAF-NTU Continuing Education (CE) Master's Programme is designed to equip eligible SAF

Officers with a Master's degree from NTU after up to 7 years of part-time study post-CSC.

Participating officers will have a variety of NTU Master's degree programmes to choose from

covering areas such as International Relations, Business Administration, Logistics, Technology

Management, Mass Communication and Instructional Design. The SAF will support these officers

with a comprehensive sponsorship scheme, including full payment of tuition fees and provision of

full-pay study leave. Participating officers will also receive a Graduate Diploma in Military

Leadership upon completion of the Programme.

Background

The SAF's operational edge lies in the continual and holistic nurturing of its people at all levels,

enabling them to contribute effectively to the SAF's mission. With its strong commitment to

nurturing and developing its people, the SAF can achieve higher individual performance and

greater organisational excellence. Its nurturing efforts are centered on 3 areas: Support for the

Continuing Education of servicemen to strengthen their cognitive abilities, Professional Military

Education and Training to build their skills and knowledge for greater military professionalism,

and Leadership Development to build strong leaders for the SAF.

By attending the Master's Programme in NTU, SAF Officers will be exposed to the latest ideas and

practices in their chosen fields, beyond their jobs in the SAF. Fellow NTU students attending the

same Master's programmes will also benefit from interaction and exchange with the SAF Officers.

Through continual and systematic training and education, SAF Officers will have opportunities to

acquire new knowledge at key junctures of their careers. The SAF-NTU CE Master's Programme

will help to develop well-rounded leaders for the 3rd Generation SAF - leaders who are well

equipped to meet the increasing complexities and dynamic challenges of the new security

environment.

About SAF-NTU Academy

The Academy's mission is to create and sustain the academic capacity and knowledge needed to

provide military leaders with professional military education and training (PMET) from a

multidisciplinary perspective. By providing such PMET, the Academy contributes to the SAF's

overall nurturing and engagement efforts that seek to develop competent and committed SAF

professionals.

PMET, which seeks to build professional knowledge, coupled with Continuing Education (CE),

which offers an added dimension of academic upgrading, enhances the individual development of

SAF leaders and strengthens the SAF's career proposition.

The Academy works closely with both SAF and NTU agencies to plan, manage and deliver all SAF-

NTU CE programmes. It also provides support to SAF students on academic matters such as

applications, credit transfers and issuance of certificates and transcripts.

Phases & Features of the SAF-NTU CE Master's Programme

The 8-year Master's degree programme consists of the following phases:

CSC Phase The Goh Keng Swee Command & Staff College (GKSCSC) and NTU co-design and co-teach five

NTU-accredited CSC courses in the key areas of Military Leadership, Military Studies and Military

Technology. These five courses, listed below, are compulsory for all officers attending CSC.

Five NTU accredited CSC courses

Security Studies

Campaigning and War Studies

Leadership in Context

Leadership Development in Organisation

Military Technology

Eligibility for SAF-NTU CE Master's Programme Officers have to attain a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of at least 2.5 for the 5 NTU

accredited CSC courses, and have a recognised Bachelor's Degree.

Credit Transfer for the 5 CSC courses Completion of the 5 NTU accredited CSC courses amounts to completion of 20-30% of a typical

NTU Master's Programme coursework and officers will be given credit transfer for these 5 courses.

The number of credit transfer varies across the programmes as given in the table below.

Post-CSC Phase

Eligible SAF Officers have to register themselves in one of the NTU Master's degree programmes

offered any time within 5 years from the completion of CSC. Officers however are encouraged to

register soon after CSC so that they can better spread out the Phase 2 courses and gain the advantage

of currency from their Phase 1 studies.

To complete the SAF-NTU CE Master‟s Programme, SAF Officers will need to successfully

complete the required number of courses and one Independent Study Module in NTU within 7 years

after the completion of CSC.

Flexible duration of up to 7 years Spreading the workload over up to 7 years after completing CSC reduces the impact on work tempo

and work-life balance to approximately 1 x 13 week part-time course, or 40 hours, per year. At the

same time, it allows SAF Officers to be constantly engaged with and exposed to the latest

developments in their chosen area of specialisation.

Timeline Chart for Phase II @ NTU

Performance Requirement

NTU will give an academic warning to students who obtain a Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) of

less than 2.5. NTU will terminate a student's candidature if the student obtains a GPA of less than

2.5 for two consecutive semesters.

SAF Officers are required to inform their Service Personnel Management Centre of their results

immediately after each semester.

6

Independent Study Module

SAF Officers in this programme are required to do an Independent Study Module. This allows them

to apply the concepts taught by NTU to their work experience in the SAF.

SAF Officers will initially register as non-graduating students at NTU. They will then have to enrol

as graduating students to start on their Independent Study Module. They can complete the requisite

courses after they have embarked on the Independent Study Module. However, once they have

enrolled as graduating students, SAF Officers must complete their Master's degree programme

within 2 to 4 years.

Officers can also apply for a 13-week full-pay study leave through their Service PMC (see

sponsorship details). Opportunities to take such study leave could occur in between the officers'

tours of duty.

Sponsorship

Minimum Term of Service (MTS) SAF Officers who take up a M.Sc./M.A. programme will serve a 1 year MTS upon completion. SAF

Officers who take up the M.B.A. programme will serve a 1.5 year MTS.

Besides, SAF Officers will have to serve an additional 1 year MTS if they choose to activate their 13

weeks of full-pay study leave for completion of their Independent Study Module. The MTS arising

from the 13-week full-pay study leave will run consecutively to the MTS from the Master‟s

Sponsorship and any existing bond/MTS that are academic in nature.

Withdrawal The SAF will consider withdrawals from the programme on a case by case basis. SAF Officers who

withdraw from the Programme without the SAF's approval will be liable for liquidated damages.

SAF Officers who resign from service whilst in the midst of the CE Master's Programme will cease

to receive SAF sponsorship and will be liable for liquidated damages.

Awards & Specialisations

Award of regular NTU Master's degree with a specialisation After meeting the course requirements in both Phases, SAF Officers will be conferred a regular NTU

Master's degree with specialisation and a Graduate Diploma in Military Leadership. This Diploma is

awarded in recognition of the value of the SAF Officers' military experience and education.

Academic transcript The Master's degree transcript will be awarded to the SAF Officers who have successfully

completed the CE Master's Programme, and this will include the 5 CSC courses and the grades for

each course.
