Testimonials
Master of Arts (Applied Linguistics)
"The MA in Applied Linguistics programme in NIE is particularly appropriate for English Language teachers and researchers. I have benefited greatly from the wide range of courses offered here and the insights I have received from the professors. The programme has helped me learn the principles of language research, teaching, and assessment."
Farnaz Rajabi Mehr
Iran
Master of Arts (Instructional Design & Technology)
"The MAIDT programme is a highly relevant learning platform for any serious ID and IT professionals. As an IT practitioner myself, I have benefited from the classroom interactions with students from diverse professional backgrounds and the rigorous online discussions via different eLearning tools. This blended learning approach has provided a wholesome experience that is intellectually engaging and technically enriching."
Col Foo Khee Loon

SAF
Master of Arts (Humanities Education)
"The programme has provided me with a myriad of new experiences. It was challenging as well as rewarding. The multi-disciplinary approach of the courses has enabled me to examine contemporary social issues and challenges critically and from multiple perspectives. This is my greatest takeaway."
Ms Tan Wan Ting
Former Teacher
Class of 2012
Master of Education (Developmental Psychology)
"The M Ed (Developmental Psychology) programme has made me an independent learner. The various courses in the programme required me to conduct a lot of research and readings on the latest findings on human development. The experience has been most enriching and fun. It enabled me to embrace challenges and to solve problems from different perspectives. This has in turn made me a more confident and enthusiastic learner.
I particularly enjoyed the understanding of motivating personalities and attitude assessment as it helped me to understand my students better, thus enabling me to become a happy and more effective teacher."
Farisa Hussain
Teacher, Anglo-Chinese School (Primary)
Graduating Class of 2013
Master of Education (Science)
"Enrolling in the M Ed (Science) programme opens up your mind, helps you appreciate the urgent need to revise your teaching approach to match the needs of the society. I especially enjoy using the theoretical frameworks learnt to help me analyse the everyday issues faced in the classroom. I begin to see things better from the students' perspectives and am better able to customise my teaching to their needs. This programme also makes me a more reflective practitioner, giving me space to recharge and feel refreshed and rejuvenated as a teacher."

Physics Teacher, Bowen Secondary School
Class of 2011

Degrees by Research
"I feel myself blessed to conduct my PhD research at NIE. I am most impressed with NIE's research culture that encourages higher degree students to publish their research and to present their research in international conferences, seminars, and workshops. I discovered several new marine natural products and published seven papers in peer-reviewed high impact factor international journals, one book chapter, and five conference papers during my PhD candidature.
My sound training under the exemplary supervision of Assistant Professor Tan Lik Tong and solid performance at NIE had laid the foundation for me to become a qualified researcher and enabled me to secure a postdoctoral position at the University of Michigan, one of the world's leading universities."
Dr Ashootosh Tripathi
Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Michigan, USA
(PhD student at NIE from 2007 to 2011)
Degrees by Research
"I am grateful to my supervisor Professor John Wang Chee Keng for his superb supervision and mentorship throughout my PhD candidature. After the initial phase of effective supervision, I was encouraged and given space to conduct original, independent research. The specialised elective courses taken during the coursework deepened my understanding of theories and practices in a number of chosen fields relevant to my research.
Furthermore, the regular discussion sessions held by the research interest group at PESS AG were most helpful in enabling me to complete my PhD research.""
Dr Eugene Chew Wai Cheong
Assistant Professor at the Physical Education & Sports Science
Academic Group (PESS AG), NIE
(PhD student at NIE from 2008 to 2011)
Master of Science (Life Sciences)
"I learnt about the latest scientific advances in the area of biological sciences. More importantly, I learnt to apply what I have been taught in the classroom to fieldwork. I have no problem in approaching my lecturers as they are very approachable and patient."
Teh Zhi Yong
National Environment Agency Analyst
2010 Cohort (Applied Plant Sciences)
Master of Science (Life Sciences)
"I enjoyed the scientific knowledge uncovered for each course and also the close rapport established between course mates, lab technicians and especially with the lecturers. Despite the rigor required for the scientific investigative work in this course, I had found the learning pace highly comfortable. I am able to share the theoretical underpinnings and lab techniques acquired from all the courses with my students."
