Find SUTD master’s by coursework application information through the official graduate master’s directory. Select “Master by Coursework”, then open the exact degree and its Application tab. The directory also includes research master’s options, so do not treat every result as the same study route.
For a concrete example, the MTD Data Science application page says applications for September 2027 are open until 31 May 2027, as reviewed on 18 October 2026. That date belongs to this programme and intake, not every SUTD graduate qualification.
Did you know? A taught data-science degree can involve substantial project work. To understand what you would learn, read the programme overview and graduation requirements as well as the entry checklist. Admission preparation and deciding whether the curriculum suits you are two different tasks.

Practical checks before you act
Filter first, then read the full award name
The directory provides separate coursework and research filters, alongside full-time and part-time options. Use them to narrow your search, then confirm what the chosen programme itself offers. A filter on a directory is not proof that every listed mode exists for every degree.
Write the complete award, specialisation and intended study mode in your comparison notes. This is especially useful when several programmes share an MTD label. If you are looking for a research degree rather than a taught curriculum, use the relevant research route instead of copying a coursework application plan.
Compare your preparation with the named programme
Data Science’s application page expects basic calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics, and describes programming familiarity as beneficial. It also allows consideration of unrelated-degree backgrounds case by case. Neither phrase should be rewritten as an automatic offer or a blanket rejection.
Map your actual experience to the stated preparation. For example, distinguish completing a statistics module from only encountering statistical outputs at work. If evidence is missing, identify the specific question to ask admissions rather than claiming that a short course necessarily substitutes for a degree requirement.
Read the curriculum before polishing the personal statement
The Data Science overview describes a combination of data-science and design learning with a final design project. Use that description to examine fit: which methods do you want to learn, and what kinds of problems do you hope to investigate with them?
A useful statement connects that aim to something you have already attempted. Explain the problem, your contribution and what you still need to understand. Do not turn the statement into a list of fashionable tools, or imply that every attractive career example on a programme page is a promised employment outcome.
Follow the programme checklist, not the PhD checklist
The Data Science application page asks for two referees, a CV and a statement of at least 500 words, alongside its other supporting records. It describes batch review and possible interviews. Check the complete list and current instructions before starting the online submission.
Keep the academic records, language evidence where applicable, final statement and referee details together. Check translations and file formats against the actual page. If you previously researched SUTD’s PhD application, do not carry its different referee count or statement instructions into this application by habit.
What to do next
Open SUTD’s master’s directory, select coursework and choose the exact programme. Read its Application, overview and graduation pages together, then build an intake-specific checklist. Ask the programme team about uncertainties before submitting.
