Master’s Degree Program
Background

The AUN/SEED-Net Project with support from Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA) provides scholarships to highly qualified
young teaching staff and graduating students/young graduates (i.e.,
potential future faculty staff) of Member Institutions to acquire
master’s degrees in the following nine engineering fields at
respective Host Institutions in other countries:

* Chemical Engineering (at De La Salle University)
* Civil Engineering (at Chulalongkorn University)
* Electrical and Electronics Engineering (at Chulalongkorn University)
* Environmental Engineering (at University of Philippines-Diliman)
* Geological Engineering (at Gadjah Mada University)
* Information and Communication Technology (at King Mongkut’s
Institute of Technology, Ladkrabang)
* Manufacturing Engineering (at University of Malaya)
* Materials Engineering (at Universiti Sains Malaysia)
* Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering (at Institute of
Technology Bandung).

In order for AUN/SEED-Net students to produce high quality thesis
research of international standard and to ensure the completion of the
master’s degree within two years, AUN/SEED-Net provides vital support,
in terms of financial and academic, through joint thesis research
supervision, to AUN/SEED-Net Master’s students at all Host
Institutions. The joint thesis research supervision will be carried
out through the Collaborative Research Program, which has been created
by each Host Institution for a few well-defined research themes (or
research umbrellas) in consultation with Japanese Field Coordinating
University, each of which is a collection of interrelated and
progressively conducted thesis research topics. Each AUN/SEED-Net
student (including doctoral sandwich student) shall conduct thesis
research under one of these research themes.

Besides, according to AUN/SEED-Net Students’ Mobility scheme which is
promoted to enable students to benefit educationally and culturally
from the experience of learning at other Member Institution(s),
Master’s students may be supported to take a course(s) or conduct
research at other Member Institution(s) for a short period. Students
are advised to consult with their advisors and Host Institution on the
necessity, possibility and procedures of their mobility.

Those who complete this Master’s Degree Program with outstanding
thesis research are encouraged to pursue a doctoral degree in one of
the above nine fields either at Japanese Supporting Universities under
the “Doctoral Degree Program in Japan”, or at Host Institutions (in
Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand) under the
“Doctoral Degree Sandwich Program” with co-supervision by Japanese
professors, or at the two Singaporean universities (NTU & NUS) under
“Doctoral Degree Program in Singapore” .

Moreover, Master’s students who prove outstanding performance and feel
interested in upgrading to doctoral level with maximum scholarship
period of five (5) years could consult with their Host Institution on
the possibility and requirements of being upgraded. Interested
students are advised to inform their Sending Institutions in advance
for their agreement.

Objectives

1. To increase the number of high quality Master’s degree holders in
engineering at Member Institutions which would be necessary to
contribute to a sustainable industrial development of ASEAN countries.

2.
To strengthen the Master’s degree support at the Host Institutions so
that the production of high quality Master’s degree holders in
engineering needed for the region is materialized within the region in
collaboration with the Member Institutions and Japanese Supporting
Universities.

3.
To strengthen human networking among teaching staff of Member
Institutions and Japanese Supporting Universities.

Target Number of Scholarships
Around 45 scholarships for each Japanese Fiscal Year will be
supported (approximately five scholarships for each host field at Host
Institutions in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand).
Coverage of Scholarships
The scholarships cover tuition fees, living expenses, health
insurance, visa fee and airport tax, and a round-trip air ticket, in
accordance with the AUN/SEED-Net Project regulations.
Commencement and Duration of Scholarships

The commencement of scholarship should be within the respective
Japanese Fiscal Year; that is, awarded students should commence their
study within April of the year– March of the next year.

The duration of the scholarship is strictly two years, counting from
the day of arrival at a Host Institution. Students who need more than
two years to acquire a degree will be expected to self-finance during
period of extension.

Note: The AUN/SEED-Net Project, in consultation with the Host
Institution, will terminate the award of any student who fails to
maintain satisfactory progress at the Host Institution.

Scholarship Allocation
Although even distribution across nine fields and across Sending
Institutions are taken into consideration, our scholarship allocation
needs to be based on first-in-first-served policy; that is, depending
on the submission of admission results from Host Institutions.
Submission Deadline of the Application Form

Applications for the Master’s Degree Program should be submitted, in
printed forms, to the AUN/SEED-Net Project by February 15 each year.
