Doing a Ph.D. at SDWA means doing research in a multidisciplinary environment. Ph.D students at SDWA typically spent part of their time at their "home department", which can be any department involved in any of the research programmes at SDWA. Currently we host Ph.D. students from departments at Engineering, Biology and Geography. Each of the departments have their own requirements regarding admission criteria, coursework requirements, etc.

Ph.D. students are hired for the individual research programmes (see Join Us). SDWA provides scholarships for Ph.D. students. Some practical information can be found here. 

A Memorandum of Understanding between NUS and TU Delft allows joint supervision of Ph.D. students. SDWA plans to take full advantage of this facility in order to strengthen programmes associated with Ph.D degree. At the Singapore-Delft Water Alliance, we aim to provide our students with a wide-ranging education that will nurture their talents and prepare them to be outstanding researchers.
