Scholars under the DSTA scholarship can choose to undertake a career in defence R&D at DSO. We offer exciting opportunities for individuals to work in one of the many laboratories or programmes in DSO. The range and diversity of R&D work available is unmatched in any company or research institution in Singapore. In addition to this, the immense satisfaction comes from making a difference to the defence and security of our nation.

Alternatively, you can choose to take up a career in defence technology engineering at DSTA, where you will enjoy diverse challenges in areas such as systems engineering, information technology, construction and engineering support. You could also work for defence technology organisations such as MINDEF departments and the SAF, the Center for Strategic Infocomm Technologies, and even Temasek Laboratories in both NUS and NTU.
