Pre-taken Graduate Modules Professional Development Units

Selection of Modules & Class Time-Table

Please note that any modules taken to meet the requirements of one degree cannot be used to count towards another degree NUS B.Eng. or B.Tech. graduates may apply for a transfer of credits of their approved pre-taken* graduate modules taken during their undergraduate studies for their current M.Sc. studies in NUS. Modules pre-taken should be taken less than 5 years prior to admission of their M.Sc. degree and are not counted toward their Bachelor’s degree. Upon approval, the pre-taken modules and grades will be transferred and included in the CAP computation of their current M.Sc. programme. All applications for transfer of credits must be submitted to GSE within the 1st month of their new M.Sc. candidature. *Pre-taken graduate modules must be as indicated in the transcripts of academic records for their Bachelor’s degree (i.e. B.Eng. or B.Tech.). For each M.Sc. module read by a M.Sc. student who is a member of the Professional Engineers Board Singapore (PEB), 39 Professional Units (PDU) may be awarded under the Professional Engineers Board Singapore's Continuing Professional Development Programme (CPD). Information on available modules for each semester and class time-table will be issued by the DEPARTMENTS to candidates who are successful in gaining admission to the courses. Successful candidates should be informed of this information about two weeks before the commencement of the Semester.

Documentary Evidence

IMPORTANT: An ORIGINAL official transcript of academic records, or its certified true copy, is required from each university you have attended. Candidates with qualifications other than those from NUS are to request the transcript(s) from your relevant university. Please note that we will only accept official transcript(s) which is sent directly from the issuing university to NUS. Transcripts must be enclosed in an official SEALED envelope with its flap bearing the security seal of the university and the signature of the Registrar or representative. Graduates from NUS can submit copies of their result slips or official transcripts of their academic records. All certificates should be attached to the completed application form. Certificates submitted in a language other than English must be accompanied by a translated and certified copy. Further documentary evidence may be requested at a later date.

TOEFL and IELTS Tests

Diagnostic English Test (DET)

The quantity and quality of academic work at NUS cannot be accomplished without the mastery of the English language. The point is deliberately emphasized because graduate students at NUS submit assessments, take written examinations and are expected to participate actively in the classroom discussions. Applicants who graduated from Universities where English is not the main medium of instruction (e.g. China, Myanmar, Indonesia, etc) are required to demonstrate their English proficiency by means of TOEFL* / IELTS** test scores.

*TOEFL is the abbreviation of the Test of English as a Foreign Language. **IELTS is the abbreviation of the International English Language Testing System. Applicants can either: (a) submit photocopies of their TOEFL/ IELTS scoresheets; or (b) request Educational Testing Services (ETS) to send original TOEFL scores to

NUS. (Institution code of NUS for TOEFL is 9084). The minimum score expected is:

i. 580 (for TOEFL paper-based test) or ii. 237 (for TOEFL computer-based test) or iii. 92 (for TOEFL internet-based test) or iv. 6.0 score for IELTS.

The examining authorities for the respective tests are:

TOEFL: Educational Testing Service (ETS) PO Box 6151, Princeton NJ 08541-6151 USA Tel: (609) 951-1100 or contact the local United States Information Service Website : http://www.ets.org

IELTS: University of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate (UCLES) 1 Hills Road, Cambridge CB1 2EU United Kingdom Tel: (01223) 55-3311 or contact the local British Council Website : http://www.ielts.org

Other tests (including the TOEFL Institutional Test) and those that claim to be predictions, estimations, equivalents, simulations, etc. of the TOEFL or IELTS are unacceptable. TOEFL score or IELTS result is only valid for 2 years after the test and should be valid at the beginning of the application period for the designated M.Sc. degree. Successful candidates who are unable to submit TOEFL/IELTS scores at the point of admission may register to take a Diagnostic English Test (DET) conducted by NUS Centre for English Language Communication (CELC). Candidates who do not achieve an expected proficiency level upon taking the DET will be required to read and obtain a satisfactory grade for the assigned English Course(s) conducted twice weekly. Classes are available both during the day and in the evening. Subject to availability, part-time students will be given priority to register for evening classes. Candidates with TOEFL/IELTS scores are strongly encouraged to submit their scoresheets at the earliest. Candidates who meet the minimum score will then be exempted from the English language requirement for our M.Sc. degree. Further details will be provided upon successful admission.

IMMIGRATION MATTERS International students who are successful in gaining admission to the full-time MSc programme must note that their offer of admission is conditional upon the successful application of their student passes. The Immigration & Checkpoint Authority (ICA) has implemented a web-based system for student pass application called the "Student Pass On-line Application & Registration" SOLAR. When full-time international students have been offered admission to our programme, University will proceed with the student pass application via SOLAR and also write to inform candidates how to complete the application process at their end. After candidates complete the application through SOLAR, ICA will process the application. For candidates from countries which require a visa to enter Singapore (details can be found at http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=96&secid=94), University will be applying for the visa cum student pass via SOLAR. If the student pass application is approved, the In-principle Approval (IPA) letter, which also serves as a single-journey entry visa will be sent to the relevant candidates. This letter and the valid passport must be presented to the Duty Officer at the Immigration checkpoint upon arrival in Singapore. For candidates from a non-visa required country (e.g. Malaysia, Indonesia etc.), candidates can collect the approval letter at the point of registration with the University. On your arrival in Singapore, you will be given a Social Visit Pass for a minimum of 2 weeks at the airport or point of entry. You may be asked to show your Letter of Admission. After registering as a student and obtaining your student registration card, you must apply for a Student Pass at least 4 business days before the expiry of your Social Visit Pass at one of the following centres :

1. Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) booth National University of Singapore (Venue to be confirmed)

Available before start of semester (dates to be confirmed).

2. Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) ICA Building 4th Storey, 10 Kallang Road Singapore 208718 Tel : 63916100 http://www.ica.gov.sg

Make an e-appointment at the ICA website (http://eappointment.ica.gov.sg/) before going to ICA Building. Your passport will be returned within 1 week. Bring along your Letter of In-Principle Approval (with Graduate Studies Office’s endorsement)

Some applications for student pass may take a longer duration to process. In some instances, the processing time may take up to 6 weeks. For such situations, the candidate’s Social Visit Pass will be extended by ICA accordingly. Please note that spouses and/or children of international M.Sc students are not sponsored by the University for their visa applications. Application of their Social Visit Pass (SVP) has to be made directly at the Visitor Services Centre, 4th floor Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and a bond is required. The amount of the bond is to be established by ICA. Student must have already obtained a Student Pass issued by the ICA at the time of application. A local sponsor (Singapore Citizen/Permanent Resident) is required in order to apply for a SVP for spouse and/or children. The SVP granted will normally be for up to a maximum period of 6 months. It is renewable, subject to ICA’s approval. Details on immigration matters can be found at the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority web site at http://www.ica.gov.sg
