Electricians- Code for outdoor conduit?

What is the code for outdoor iring for lamps and a receptacle for a three story two-family brownstone? Can I use EMT (Electrical metallic tubing) or must I use Rigid Metal Cnduit or Rigid Nonmetallic Conduit. Can single insulated wires (TW, THW or THWN) or NM cable be used inside the conduit?
