Local Phd studies are usually sponsored with monthly stipend of about 3-3.6k.
First 3 years in NTU MSE are foundation years and year 4 is the time to choose your specialisation such as, nanomaterials, biomaterials, solar cells, semicon tech, advance materials analysis, polymers science, composites, energy storage devices, thin film tech, etc....
Strictly speaking there is actually no specialization in MSE, you just choose the course u prefer like mix and match. If u like semicon industry then choose more semicon courses.
MSE is more science than engineering and is directed towards research. However, aspects of engineering is still present but not as much as mechanical engineering. So you can expect less maths and physics in MSE. Instead, MSE focus on mechanisms of materials failure, mechanisms of nanomaterials growth, manufacturing techniques, materials properties, etc. You can visit NTU MSE website to get a better idea of the courses. There are description of all the courses in that website.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Actually I am really interested for taking study of Material Science and Engineering, however I got degree from Computer Engineering and I think it is not related, therefore I am rather afraid for applying PhD scholarship. Beside, I am really lazy taking all the things like GRE, TOEFL and other thing that is need to apply for scholarship.
Right now, I am trying to get and make a stepping stone before applying for PhD scholarship program by doing a research first and make some publication (previously I am doing research for image processing). Right now I am trying to do collaboration based research with my supervisor in Indonesia (we do a long time based research, although I am rather stuck here on the basics).
Since I am trying to do research, I already have choice for my specialization. I think I will choose between solar cell/semi-cons. Thanks for sharing pal.
