From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The German Institute of Science and Technology (abbreviated GIST) is an institute for research and
education situated in Singapore, formed by a collaboration between the Technical University of Munich, the
National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and the Singapore Institute of Technology.
It is also known as GIST-TUM Asia (http://www.tum-asia.edu.sg), and is considered as the Asian campus of the
Technical University of Munich (abbreviated TUM).

GIST-TUM Asia (http://www.tum-asia.edu.sg) was set up in Singapore in 2002, under the Singapore
government's Global Schoolhouse Initiative. GIST-TUM Asia currently offers 5 Master of Science programmes,
MSc in Industrial Chemistry; MSc in Integrated Circuit Design; MSc in Microelectronics; MSc in Aerospace
Engineering; and MSc in Transport and Logistics. The former four programmes are run jointly with either
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) or National University of Singapore (NUS) and the latter programme
is a pure TUM programme.

GIST-TUM Asia (http://www.tum-asia.edu.sg) then partnered Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) to offer
Bachelor of Science programmes in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology and Chemical
Engineering in 2010. Admitted students undergo a 2 year programme that includes a 2 to 4 month overseas
exchange at the Munich campus.

TUM CREATE (http://www.tum-create.edu.sg), a research initiative by GIST-TUM Asia (http://www.tum-

asia.edu.sg), was incepted in June 2010 to propagate research programmes where scientists and researchers from
both Germany and Singapore can work together for the advancement of science and technology. With the
research agreement in TUM CREATE Centre for Electromobility in Megacities sealed between GIST-TUM Asia
(http://www.tum-asia.edu.sg) and National Research Foundation of Singapore (NRF), the research programme
will focus on developing innovative systems that incorporate safety and reliability with functionality and energy
efficiency in electric vehicles.
