At http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/nusbulletin/faculty-science/special-programme-science-sps The paragraph highlighted in green below had been inserted. Special Programme in Science (SPS)

SPS is an intense programme designed for a small cohort of undergraduates who have a strong aptitude and passion for science. It is directed at students who delight in rigorous training of the mind and character. The programme introduces participants to some of the broad areas of contemporary scientific concerns through an interdisciplinary approach. Opportunities abound for participants to participate in scientific investigations and to embark on in-depth studies of advanced topics that are at the forefront of modern scientific endeavour. Participants get to enjoy close interaction with their peers and mentors through project work and seminar discussions. The programme also provides students with a rare opportunity to interact with renowned scientists visiting the university. With the goal of encouraging a free exchange of opinions and ideas, it is hoped that students will imbibe among other things, some of the wit and wisdom that the visitor may bring. Students in the programme will read six modules in all: SP2171 Discovering Science (4 MCs) – read over two semesters in the first year of study SP2173 Atoms to Molecules (4 MCs) – read in semester I of the first year of study SP2174 The Cell (4 MCs) – read in semester II of the first year of study SP3175 The Earth (4 MCs) – read in semester I of the second year of study SP3176 The Universe (4 MCs) – read in semester II of the second year of study SP3172 Integrated Science Project (4 MCs) – can be read in either semester I or II of the second year of study

16 MCs (SP2173, SP2174, SP3175 and SP3176) of the above SPS curriculum may go towards fulfilling the Faculty requirements. Students who have passed SP2173, SP2174, SP3175 and SP3176 are deemed to have completed 16 MCs of the Faculty Requirement from 3 distinct subject groups outside the group under which their major falls. Students who may have part of their Faculty Requirements fulfilled by modules within their majors can use the remaining MCs as Unrestricted Electives. SP3277 Nano: from Research Bench to Industrial Applications SP3277 Nano: from Research Bench to Industrial Applications is a new elective SPS module offered with effect from Sem 2 AY2013/14. This module exposes senior students to nanoscience research and nanotechnology-based industry. This is done through a series of weekly seminars by principal investigators and industrial experts in the field, laboratory and industrial visits, and by completion of

http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/nusbulletin/faculty-science/special-programme-science-sps



nanosynthesis/nanocharacterization-related mini projects. The course culminates in an intensive one-week study tour to Japan, organised in collaboration with La Trobe University and Tokyo University. For both SPS and non-SPS students, this module can be counted towards the Multidisciplinary & Interdisciplinary Sciences subject group of the Faculty Requirements.

The Common Curriculum focuses on imparting practical skills, disciplinary knowledge, and interdisciplinary competencies that the School believes to be

necessary for the kind of work done by public policy practitioners, researchers, and public managers and leaders. The modules in the Common Curriculum are:

PP5401 Policy Challenges (8MCs, year-long): This year-long module is designed to get students to think in a practical, problem-oriented, and multidisciplinary way through critical lenses and analytical tools available in the disciplines of Public Management and Leadership, Political Science and International Relations, and Economics, all pillars of a traditional Public Policy education. PP5402 Policy Process and Analysis (8MCs, year-long): Public policy crafters need to use reliable evidence when creating policy. In this module, students will

http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/nusbulletin/lee-kuan-yew-school-public-policy/master-public-policy



learn the methodology and tools to be good consumers, users, and producers of research and be equipped with foundational analytic skills through a comprehensive introduction to the field of policy analysis,underlying theory, and major analytical toolkits. The emphasis will be on application, particularly through case studies and group projects addressing research questions that will flow through the year. Every attempt will be made to relate what is learnt in this module with the topics and issues addressed in the Policy Challenges module that will run in parallel. Policy Analysis will also serve as preparation for the Policy Analysis Exercise (see below).

PP5402 Policy Process and Institutions (2 MCs, half a semester): The module is about approaches, institutions and processes in public policy. Specifically, it examines: definition and approaches to the analysis and practice of public policy; the political economic context of public policy; and the process of framing, making, and evaluating public policy. The objective is to build students’ capability to conceptualise policy problems, devise strategies for addressing them, and comprehend policy documents.

PP5404 Policy Analysis (6 MCs, one and a half semesters): Public policy crafters need to use reliable evidence when creating policy. In this module, students will learn the methodology and tools to be good consumers, users, and producers of research and be equipped with foundational analytic skills through a comprehensive introduction to the field of policy analysis, underlying theory, and major analytical toolkits. The emphasis will be on application, particularly through case studies and group projects addressing research questions that will flow through the year. Every attempt will be made to relate what is learnt in this module with the topics and issues addressed in the Policy Challenges module that will run in parallel. Policy Analysis will also serve as preparation for the Policy Analysis Exercise.

PP5110A Policy Analysis Exercise (4MCs, year-long): To obtain direct practical experience, MPP students work in diverse teams to undertake a public policy or management study for a client in the public, private, or not-for-profit sectors.

PP5403 Economic Foundations for Public Policy (4MCs, semester-long): As Economics is an essential component of a Public Policy education, all students will be expected to graduate with at least a basic understanding of the key concepts and theories associated with microeconomics and macroeconomics. The main objective of this module is to understand foundational economics concepts and principles and their application to public policy. Specializations (20MCs, including Gateway to Specialization module): The Specialization component of the curriculum is where students will acquire depth and sophistication in their selected areas of policy expertise. To graduate with a Specialization, students will have to pass at least 4 modules listed in that Specialization along with the Gateway module. Students may opt not to graduate with a Specialization. The following Specializations will be offered: a. Economic Policy and Analysis b. Politics and International Relations c. Social, Environmental, and Urban Policy d. Sustainable Development d.

RO Advanced Placement Credits and Exemption (http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/UG/graduation.html#APCExe)

Advanced placement credits (APCs) or exemption may be granted for NUS modules taken and passed prior to admission to the University, for modules completed at another tertiary institution recognised by the University, or based on performance in placement tests set by the relevant Faculty.

The granting of APCs or exemption is subject to the following:

• The university modules or diploma must not have been used to count towards the award of any other degree. In addition, the university modules or diploma must have been completed within the last 5 years prior to the date of admission to the University.

• For NUS modules, APCs with grade transfer will be granted when student has received a pass (C or better). Students may choose to exercise Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) grading option for these modules, subject to the rules of their home faculty, during the S/U option exercise conducted at the end of the first semester.

• Transfer of credits for modules not conducted by NUS will take place without transfer of grades.

A. Holders of G.C.E. ‘A' Levels, International Baccalaureate or equivalent qualifications who have completed university modules or placement tests through the above-mentioned routes may be granted APCs in relevant modules for up to a maximum of 40 MCs, as follows:

(i) With effect fFrom AY2008/09 to AY2014/15

• Up to 8 MCs for the University Level Requirements; • Up to 12 MCs for Unrestricted Elective Modules; and • Up to 20 MCs for Programme Requirements.

http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/UG/graduation.html#APCExe)



(ii) With effect from AY2015/16

• Up to 20 MCs for Unrestricted Elective Modules; and • Up to 20 MCs for Programme Requirements.

Such students should apply to the Dean's Office of their home faculty for APCs at the point of admission to the University.

B. Diploma holders of approved programmes from Polytechnics in Singapore admitted to a 120-MC or 160-MC programme may be granted APCs in relevant modules for up to a maximum of 40 MCs, as follows:

(i) From AY2004/05 to AY2014/15

• Up to 8 MCs for University Level Requirements, comprising one General Education Module and one Breadth Module;


With effect from AY2011/12, for diploma holders to be granted the relevant APCs Programme Requirements, the diploma must have been completed within the last 5 years prior to the year of admission to the University. However, the 20 MCs of APCs for the University Level Requirements and Unrestricted Elective Modules will be awarded to all diploma holders of approved programmes from Polytechnics in Singapore, regardless of when the diploma was completed, in recognition of the overall knowledge gained from a Polytechnic education. These 20 MCs of APCs are tagged at Level-1000. However, the 12 MCs from Unrestricted Electives will not be counted against the 60-MC limit on Level-1000 modules. This is because many Level-1000 modules are essential modules that students must complete before they can progress to the next level. For Polytechnic diploma holders admitted to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, all 20 MCs of APCs will be counted against the 60-MC limit on Level-1000 modules.

artificial structures at the nanoscale with potentially novel functions Structures behave differently when their dimensions are reduced to the range of between one and one hundred nanometers (nm). Such structures exhibit novel and very much improved physical, chemical and biological properties, due entirely to their nanoscopic size. Once we can control feature sizes on the nanometer scale, it is possible to enhance material properties and device functions beyond those that we presently know or even consider possible. Nanotechnology is defined as the ability to work at the molecular level, atom by atom, to create large structures with fundamentally new molecular organisation. Nanoscience is an exciting new multidisciplinary realm that brings together the traditional disciplines of Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The objective of the Nanoscience minor programme is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the field of nanoscience, and would be suitable not only for students in the sciences and engineering, but also for students from any discipline who show a keen interest in the latest developments in science. This Nanoscience minor programme covers the latest research and technology trends which may soon revolutionise the world's economy. . This Minor would be particularly attractive to Physics, Chemistry and Engineering majors. To qualify for a Minor in Nanoscience, a student should pass six modules as follows:

1. Two compulsory Level-1000 modules:

a. CM1131 Physical Chemistry or CM1502 General and Physical Chemistry for Engineers and

b. PC1144 Physics IV or PC1432 Physics IIE

2. Two Level-2000 modules:

a. SP2251 Science at the Nanoscale and b. CM2101 Physical Chemistry 2 or

PC2130 Quantum Mechanics 1

3. Two Level-3000 modules:

a. CM3251 Nanochemistry; or b. PC3251 Nanophysics; or c. CM/LSM/ PC3288[Advanced UROPS]*



d. SP3277 Nano: from Research Bench to Industrial Applications**

* Must be a Nanoscience-related project. ** SP3277 involves a compulsory nanotechnology study tour to Japan

Note: Chemistry and Physics majors are only allowed to read at most three CM- and three PC- coded modules respectively; out of which only two modules (at most) are allowed to overlap with a student's major requirements.

CELC proposed a new module –ES1000FC and it was approved via BUS Circular 13, AY2014/15 dated 12 Feb 2018. ES1000FC is the flipped classroom version of ES1000. FoS informed that they understand from CELC that old cohorts of students who have yet to read ES1000 will be asked to read ES1000FC when it is offered starting Sem 1 AY15/16. Hence, to indicate as ES1000/ES1000FC where ES1000 is mentioned under section 3.3.1.8 English Skills Requirements at http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/nusbulletin/faculty-science/english-skills-es-requirements. The amendments are indicated in red below:

‘Based on the Qualifying English Test results, students who do not meet exemption criteria have to take and pass ES1102 English for Academic Purposes. In addition, very weak students have to take and pass ES1000/ES1000FC Basic English Course before proceeding to ES1102.

ES1000/ES1000FC and ES1102 are not counted towards Modular Credits and CAP. However, they are counted as part of the workload for every semester. (Please refer to section 3.3.2)

Students who need to clear ES requirement for graduation are strongly encouraged to do so by their second semester at the latest.’

UTCP

1. UTCP submitted the following changes to be updated. The programme is now known as University Town College

Programme (formerly known as University Town Residential Programme (UTRP)).

• NUS Bulletin 2014-2015 – to replace the current text at

http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/nusbulletin/other-multidisciplinary-special-programmes/university-town-residential-programme-utrp with the following text highlighted in red:

University Town College Programme Overview of Programme The University Town College Programme (UTCP) is a residential programme offered at College of Alice & Peter Tan and Tembusu College. Designed as a more coherent delivery of general education, the UTCP emphasises multidisciplinary learning and active small-group learning. Students from different disciplines, cultures, and nationalities are put together in each class, which helps them to assimilate and synthesise cross-disciplinary knowledge, facilitating multi-perspectival thinking. Typically, students are expected to complete a core curriculum of five modules over two years: two modules on Ideas and Exposition, a junior seminar, and two senior seminars. Through its multidisciplinary curriculum, the UTCP will help students develop effective communications and strong writing skills, critical thinking skills, and intellectual breadth and rigour to tackle the complex, inter-related challenges confronting the world today. A host of informal learning activities, such as talks by distinguished visitors, as well as social and sporting activities, complements the formal curriculum. Admission Requirements The UTCP admits incoming freshmen and a small number of undergraduate students across all Faculties/Schools each year. Admission to the UTCP is on a competitive basis. Applicants will be assessed on the following:

• Academic achievements • Co-curricular experience • Essay writing • Interview

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to attend an interview.

http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/nusbulletin/other-multidisciplinary-special-programmes/university-town-residential-programme-utrp



Applicants may indicate their preference for College of Alice & Peter Tan or Tembusu College, but the eventual placement may be different. Programme Requirements Students admitted as part of the Semester 1 UTCP freshman intake are offered a two-year residency, during which they should complete the UTCP curriculum comprising five modules. Students admitted as part of the Semester 1 UTCP seniors intake are offered a one-year residency, during which they should read one module with their College. For most students, the UTCP modules read will fulfil the University Level Requirements, which are essential for graduation. An academic pathway will be tailored for students from non-modular Faculties/Schools such as Medicine, Law, and Dentistry, and those from selected special programmes with curricular restrictions. Residential College 4 Pilot Programme The third College in UTown to offer the UTCP, Residential College 4 will be fully operational from AY2015/2016. For AY2014/2015, Residential College 4 invites incoming freshmen and undergraduate students (going on to Year 2 in AY2014/2015) to apply for its residential pilot programme. Students are expected to participate fully in both the academic and other activities planned across both semesters. For more information, visit http://rc4.nus.edu.sg/.

(http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/info/nusbulletin/AY201415_FoE.pdf - Pg 27) Amendments are highlighted in yellow/red: 3.2.2 Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) Overview

Chemical engineering (ChE) and chemical engineers are essential for many industries such as oil and gas, petroleum refining, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, biologics, chemicals, semiconductor/electronic, food, polymers etc. Besides these, chemical engineers find satisfying and rewarding careers in engineering design and consultancy, research institutes, government, educational institutions and finance. All these sectors have been growing and contributing significantly to the manufacturing output in Singapore. The four-year B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) programme at NUS educates budding engineers to design, develop, and operate chemical processes by which chemicals, petroleum products, food, pharmaceuticals and consumer goods can be produced economically and safely with minimal environmental impact. In addition, Chemical Engineering students acquire the necessary background and skills to design and develop functional products that benefit society in many ways. Chemical processes involve reactions, heat transfer, separations and biological phenomena to produce useful and valuable products. Accordingly, they study changes in the composition, energy content and/or state of aggregation of materials, taking into consideration the nature of matter and its properties (chemistry), the forces that act on matter (physics), similar aspects of biological materials (biology), and the relationships between them (mathematics). Chemical engineering differs from chemistry and applied chemistry programmes, with its emphasis on industrial applications of chemical reactions, separations and techniques for designing and operating economical, safe and environmentally benign processes. Programme educational objectives (PEOs) of B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering): Considering expectations of all our stakeholders, Chemical Engineering programme at NUS prepares students with technical expertise, experiences, critical and creative thinking skills, communication skills and other professional attributes. Accordingly, our graduates are expected to succeed in the following within several years after graduation: (1) Excel in careers in the chemical, petroleum, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, biotechnology, microelectronics, energy, materials processing or other related industries/organizations; (2) Pursue advanced degrees and/or certifications for a career in engineering, academia, business, law, medicine, or research and development; (3) Display leadership, and also contemporary and global outlook; and (4) Demonstrate high-level of professionalism, ethical and social responsibility, independent learning,

and desire for life-long learning. To achieve the above PEOs, the four-year undergraduate Chemical Engineering programme has been designed to provide a complete learning experience by incorporating the three essential components of the university’s curriculum structure, namely, University Level Requirements (ULRs, to provide broad-based education), Programme Requirements (to provide strong background in the discipline) and Unrestricted Elective Modules (UEMs, to give flexibility to students to meet their own aspirations). The requirements for the B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) degree programme ensure a balanced exposure to science, engineering principles and contemporary technology. Besides education in science and technology, students broaden intellectual horizons by taking supporting modules that constitute the ULR and the Faculty Requirements of the Programme Requirements. Building upon many core modules in the first five semesters, technical electives and a research project (dissertation) in the subsequent semesters provide an opportunity to specialize in the student’s area of interest. Students have complete freedom to use UEM to take modules that complement individual career plans or to simply pursue personal curiosity and interest. All Chemical Engineering students are exposed to industrial practice through internship, site visits and/or lectures by practising engineers. They are also provided with networking, globalization and technical/business leadership opportunities through student exchange, overseas colleges, entrepreneurship and minor programmes for broader education. The student learning outcomes (SLOs) of B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) programme are as follows. Graduates of this programme should be able to:

a) apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering to the solution of complex engineering problems;

b) design and conduct experiments, analyse, interpret data and synthesise valid conclusions; c) design a system, component, or process, and synthesise solutions to achieve desired needs; d) identify, formulate, research through relevant literature review, and solve engineering problems

reaching substantiated conclusions; e) use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice with

appropriate considerations for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental contraints;

f) communicate effectively; g) recognize the need for, and have the ability to engage in life-long learning; h) understand the impact of engineering solutions in a societal context and to be able to respond

effectively to the needs for sustainable development; i) function effectively within multi-disciplinary teams and understand the fundamental precepts of

effective project management; j) understand professional, ethical and moral responsibility; and k) apply critical thinking through independent thought and informed judgement, and develop creative

and innovative solutions.


The B.Eng. (ChE) programme at NUS is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Board (EAB) of Singapore. EAB is the Singapore signatory of the Washington Accord, and all signatories of this Accord recognise the substantial equivalence of programmes accredited by one of them, in satisfying the academic requirements for the practice of engineering at the professional level. This means ChE graduates from NUS are accepted for engineering practice in the countries that are part of the Washington Accord. Besides Singapore, signatories in the Washington Accord include Canada, USA, UK, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia.

Degree Requirements

The following are the requirements for the degree of B.Eng. (ChE): • Students in the B.Eng. (ChE) programme are required to complete a minimum of 161 MCs with a

CAP ≥ 2.0 to graduate from the programme. • 161 MCs will have to be earned by reading modules in accordance with Table 3.2.2a. • Students are free to choose any combination of the offered modules from Table 3.2.2b to

satisfycomplete 12 MCs of technical electives requirement. • A student may choose to specialise in Biomolecular Engineering, Microelectronics Processing or

3.2.2.1 The Chemical Sciences Programme

The Biomedical Sciences sector in Singapore (comprising pharmaceutical, medical technology, biotechnology and healthcare services industries) has undergone rapid growth in the last few years and further expansion is expected. The Chemical Sciences Programme will augment the existing Specialisation Option in Biomolecular Engineering for the Chemical Engineering students by providing a strong foundation in life and chemical sciences starting from the first year of the B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) programme. This training in life and chemical sciences coupled with a strong chemical and process engineering background will provide the graduates with the expertise to embark on further research and technology development related to the Biomedical Sciences sector of Singapore. Students in the Chemical Sciences Programme will be admitted as Chemical Engineering [B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering)] majors. They will be required to fulfil all the course/modular requirements under the B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) programme. A number of Life Sciences and Chemistry modules are placed under the University and Unrestricted Electives Requirement. The B.Eng. Dissertation (CN4118) should preferably to be carried out in a Life/Chemical Sciences area. Industrial Attachment (IA) is optional for students in this programme. The graduates from this programme will be accredited in accordance with the EAB (Singapore) and IChemE (UK) scheme, in a similar manner as the regular B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) cohort. The modular requirements and recommended semester schedule for students in this programme are available on the Chemical Sciences website at: http://www.chemicalscience.nus.edu.sg/index.htm. The load in the last semester is intentionally made light so that students can proceed to take graduate modules as part of their Ph.D. programme. This will provide a seamless transition between the B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) and Ph.D. programmes.

Special features of this course include: • Possibility of a Life Science Minor upon the completion of the Chemical Sciences Programme. • The Chemical Sciences Programme study plan permits the cohort to read one or more Level-5000

modules required for a Ph.D. programme if they so choose in the last semester, thereby accelerating the completion of the graduate course.

Arising from the approved change of the minimum workload from 15 MCs to 18 MCs, with effect from AY2015/16 (see BUS Cir 27, 2014-15 dated 9 July 2015 item 14 on Minimum Workload), the following amendments highlighted in red/and shaded in yellow are made under ‘Residency Requirement and Maximum Candidature ‘ at: http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/info/nusbulletin/AY201415_GeneralInformation.pdf- Pg 22 -------------

Residency Requirement and Maximum Candidature

The University has established a minimum residency requirement and maximum candidature for all NUS degrees, including joint and double degrees with foreign universities.

Residency Requirement

For students admitted from AY2014/2015 onwards:

A student registered for a Bachelor's degree must complete at least 50% of required MCs for the degree programme with modules read at NUS. Modules read at NUS include all modules taught, co-taught, supervised or co-supervised by one or more NUS faculty members. These MCs must be earned from graded modules with assigned grade points or modules with an ‘S' or ‘CS' grade.

In addition, students* are required to read at least 18 15 MCs every semester throughout their candidature, except during the following semesters when they are allowed to read fewer MCs:

• the final semester before completion of all graduation requirements for the degree; and • the semester in which the students are undergoing industrial attachment or doing their final year

projects.

(Students admitted prior to AY2014/2015 should refer to the General Information section of the archived

http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/info/nusbulletin/AY201415_GeneralInformation.pdf



NUS Bulletin relevant to their year of admission.)

*Except students from the Faculty of Law and the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music

Maximum Candidature The maximum candidature for:

• a Bachelor degree programme with a minimum requirement of 120 MCs is 4 years; • a Bachelor with Honours degree programme with a minimum requirement of 160 MCs is 5 years; • a typical double degree programme (which may involve between 180 and 200 MCs) is 6 years.

In general, students who have completed their degree requirements by the 6th semester or earlier for 120-MC programmes and the 8th semester or earlier for 160-MC programmes, may be allowed one additional semester of study (either a regular semester or Special Term) to improve their CAP standing subject to their reading: In the case of the additional semester being a regular semester,

• a minimum workload of 18 15 MCs*, and • only Level-3000 or higher modules

*Except students from the Faculty of Law and the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music In the case of the additional semester being the Special Term,

• only Level-3000 or higher modules

Additionally, students are not allowed to opt for a new Minor, Second Major or Double Degree programme beyond the end of the 5th semester of study.

What is the rationale for increasing the minimum workload per semester from 15 MCs to 18 MCs? The rationale for this increase in minimum workload to 18 MCs is to ensure that students will be on track to graduate on time or earlier, i.e., within 3 years (6 regular semesters) for 120MC degree programmes; and 4 years (8 regular semesters) for 160MC degree programmes. Based on the current undergraduate curriculum structure, the normal student workload is 20 MCs per semester. Over the years, it is noted that of the students who were graduating late, many had a workload of 17MCs or less in one or more semesters other than the final graduating semester. 2. How will this policy of minimum workload of 18 MCs per semester be implemented? This policy will be applicable to all new and returning students with effect from AY2015/16 (except for students from the Faculty of Law and the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music). Exceptions to the 18 MCs minimum workload will be considered on a case by case basis (e.g., for 2nd year students who have accumulated greater than 40 MCs; 3rd year students who have accumulated greater than 80 MCs). You may write to your Home Faculty/School regarding your situation. Please detail how you will be able to graduate on time (i.e., within 3 years for 120MC programmes and 4 years for 160MC programmes), despite falling below the minimum workload required.



3. I intend to ‘underload’ in this semester as I am interested in doing modules over the next summer/special term. Is that possible? As reading modules in the Special Term is optional, you cannot ‘underload’ this semester in anticipation and will have to abide by the minimum workload of 18 MCs. 4. I am taking my Final Year Project which spans over 2 semesters, how will the MCs be calculated towards the minimum workload of 18 MCs in this case? The policy already takes such a situation into consideration. The minimum workload of 18 MCs is not applicable during the following semesters where students can read fewer MCs:



5. I have 20 MCs of Advanced Placement Credits (APCs) due to my polytechnic diploma and so have lesser workload to clear. Can I plan to read less than 18 MCs over 6 semesters as I intend to pursue the 120MC programme?

The minimum workload of 18 MCs is still applicable to you. The APCs would enable you to complete your degree programme earlier by at least a semester. 6. I have completed my graduation requirements last semester and had decided to stay on for an additional semester, i.e., Semester 1, AY2015/16, to pull up my CAP based on the previous policy of reading ‘a minimum of 15 MCs of Level 3000 and above modules’. Does the new minimum 18 MCs rule now apply to me? Such students who are staying on for this Semester 1, AY2015/16 ‘to pull up their CAP’ will be subjected to the previous policy of reading ‘a minimum of 15 MCs of Level 3000 and above modules’. Students who decide to extend in Semester 2, AY2015/16 and beyond ‘to pull up their CAP’ will be subjected to the new policy of reading ‘a minimum of 18 MCs of Level 3000 and above modules’.)

Update (1): http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/info/nusbulletin/AY201415_GeneralInformation.pdf - Pg 32

Graduate Admissions

Minimum Requirements for Coursework-based Programmes

Admission to a coursework-based graduate programme would usually requires at least a Bachelor’s degree,




or equivalent, in the subject or related discipline. In addition, programmes may require candidates to demonstrate readiness for graduate study through a specific standard of achievement in:

• Common placement examination (e.g., the subject GRE, GMAT); or • Programme-administered placement test in the relevant field (which may also consist of a structured

interview to test the candidate’s understanding of the field); or • Completion of 40 MCs of preparatory modules.

Exceptionally, candidates with other qualifications and experience may be considered on a case-by-case basis, subject to approval by the BGS.

With the approval of the Senate, programmes may specify relevant work experience as an additional admission requirement.

Credit transfer and exemption for the graduate coursework-based programme may be granted for NUS modules taken and passed prior to admission to the programme or for modules completed at another tertiary institution recognised by the University. Generally, only modules that have not been used towards another degree at NUS or elsewhere may be considered for credit and grade transfers (NUS modules) / exemption (non-NUS modules). For such non-NUS modules, only up to 50% of the total coursework requirements may be exempted. There is no limit on the credit and grade transfers of NUS modules that have not been used towards another degree at NUS. In addition, for coursework-based programmes which require more than the usual 40 MCs, NUS modules that have been used towards another degree at NUS can be considered for credit and grade transfer provided the resultant total coursework requirement does not fall below 40 MCs. All modules for credit transfer and exemption must be relevant to the degree programme to which the candidate seeks admission, have comparable content and level of sophistication, and be read less than five (5) years before the date of admission.

Students seeking credit transfer and exemption should apply to the relevant programme office within the first semester of study.

Graduate Programmes

NUS offers a wide range of graduate programmes catering for a variety of interests, namely:

• Doctoral degree programmes at NUS are primarily research-based. They equip students with the skills required to advance knowledge, and human progress. Doctoral degrees are typically the first choice of students who seek depth of knowledge, enjoy creative problem solving, and who aspire to hold high level positions in their respective fields.

• Master's degree programmes are primarily designed to prepare students for the practice of a profession (typically Master's by coursework), or to master a subject area as a precursor to doctoral training (typically Master's by research).

• Graduate Diploma is offered as a terminal qualification and provides focused limited professional training in a specific niche. Graduate Diploma is often favoured by students who seek additional exposure to an area of interest without committing themselves to longer-term further studies.

These programmes offer excellent opportunities for students to further develop their potential as intellectual leaders for a wide range of career paths. Prospective graduate students should consider carefully which type of graduate programme most suits their interests and career aspirations. Increasingly, students pursuing a research-oriented career (whether in industry or academe) and/or wanting to advance quickly in their chosen career, elect to enrol in a Doctoral programme.

NUS is home to students and faculty members from many countries. Its faculty members have an international reputation for research excellence in many fields. They have built collaborations in research across national borders and disciplines. Some of these collaborations provide opportunities for students to work towards a Ph.D. degree conferred jointly by NUS and an overseas partner university.

NUS’ programmes are characterized by intellectual rigour and cutting-edge scholarship. They are designed to nurture a passion for inquiry and to provide you with the tools to tackle intellectual challenges with confidence and creativity.

As a community with a global orientation, NUS welcomes applications from highly qualified students, both local and international. The full list of NUS graduate programmes are given here (http://www.nus.edu.sg/admissions/graduate-studies/graduate-programme-and-contacts.html) with hyperlinks

Graduate Education

NUS offers a variety of comprehensive and challenging graduate programmes, some of which are primarily research-based, while others are coursework-based. The Graduate Diploma is offered as a terminal qualification and provides focused limited professional training in a specific niche. The Master's degree is intended to develop mastery of a field and prepares students for the practice of a profession or as a precursor to doctoral training. The Doctoral degree is designed to prepare students for creative activity and original research, often in preparation for the pursuit of an academic career. In order to accommodate students with full-time employment, some programmes allow students to enroll on a part-time basis, with modules conducted in the evenings, and in some instances, on Saturdays.

Graduate students are admitted to either a coursework or research programme and are distinguished by the programme in which they are enrolled. The Graduate Diploma and various Master's degree programmes are offered under the coursework structure. The Ph.D. and Master's degrees in certain disciplines are strictly research-based programmes.

PVO: Revised DDP Continuation Requirements has been approved via Senate Cir No. 6, 2015-16 dated 7 March 2016. Update (1) 1. Please help to change CAP to 2 decimal points in the web page below. 2. Please update according to the amendments highlighted in red below: DDP Framework and Guidelines www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/UG/spugp-double-degree-guidelines.html 9. Continuation Requirement and Exit The continuation requirements for DDPs are as follows:

• For students admitted before AY2011/12: A student who does not maintain a CAP of 4.00 in modules

contributing to the original degree for any two consecutive semesters will be required to withdraw from the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. A warning will be issued if the CAP falls below 4.00 in a semester.

• For students admitted with effect from AY2011/12 onwards: A student who does not maintain a CAP of 4.00 in modules contributing to the original degree, and a CAP of 3.50 for the second degree for any two consecutive semesters will be required to withdraw from the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. A warning will be issued if the CAP falls below 4.00 for the original degree in a semester, or below 3.50 for the second degree, or both. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable in the final graduating semester.

• For students admitted from AY2014/15 onwards: A student who does not maintain a CAP of 3.75 in modules contributing to the original degree; and a CAP of 3.25 for the second degree for any two consecutive semesters will be required to withdraw from the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. A warning will be issued if the CAP falls below 3.75 for the original degree in a semester, or below 3.25 for the second degree, or both. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable once a student’s total cumulative modular credits exceeds 160MCs.

A student may decide to withdraw or can be asked to withdraw from the double degree programme by


http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/UG/spugp-double-degree-guidelines.html


withdrawing from the second degree programme. However, he/she is not allowed to withdraw from the first degree (i.e. originally offered degree) programme and transfer to the second degree programme. All the modules which the student has taken to fulfil the requirements of the second degree will be reflected in the transcript and included in the computation of the CAP for the single degree. No DDP withdrawal is allowed in the midst of a semester (except for graduating cases). DDP students can request to withdraw from the second degree after results release up to the first week of the following semester. DDP students exiting the programme shall be allowed to exercise S/U on the modules taken in the immediate past semester provided they submit their S/U requests to their home faculty by the first week of the following semester. Update (2) FAQs for DDP, CDP and DM http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/faqs/ddp-cdp-dm-faq.html A. Double Degree Programmes (DDPs) 13. What if I do badly or don't like the course?

Students can choose to leave the programme, or can be asked to leave the programme if they fail to meet continuation requirements.

a. For candidates admitted to NUS before AY2011/12*: if your CAP falls below 4.00 for the home course for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. (Students admitted to NUS in AY2010-11 and earlier who are admitted into DDPs after their first year, or who self-design their DDPs will follow this continuation requirement).

b. For candidates admitted to NUS from AY2011/12* onwards: if your CAP falls below 4.00 for the home course, or below 3.50 for the second degree, or both, for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable in the final graduating semester.

c. For candidates admitted to NUS from AY2014/15 onwards: if your CAP falls below 3.75 for the home course, or below 3.25 for the second degree, or both, for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable once a student’s total cumulative modular credits exceeds 160MCs.

Specific DDPs (e.g. with Law) may stipulate other continuation requirements. Please refer to the specific DDP websites for details. For students leaving the programme, your academic advisor will advise you on the modules you need to complete the degree requirements of your home course. Upon withdrawal, all the modules taken to fulfil the requirements of the second degree will be reflected in the transcript and included in the computation of the CAP for the single degree. *Refers to cohort academic year.

http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/faqs/ddp-cdp-dm-faq.html


14. What do I need to know about putting together my own double degree combination?

Students interested to pursue their own double degree combinations must have obtained a minimum CAP of 4.00 after completing between 60 to 80 MCs (excluding MCs earned from student exchange programmes or advanced placement credits). Written approval to embark on the DDP must be obtained from the relevant Faculties. Students are advised to seek proper advice from their academic counsellors in planning their modules as early as possible in their candidature.

a. For candidates admitted to NUS before AY2011/12*: if your CAP falls below 4.00 for the home course for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. (Students admitted to NUS in AY2010-11 and earlier who are admitted into DDPs after their first year, or who self-design their DDPs will follow this continuation requirement).

b. For candidates admitted to NUS from AY2011/12* onwards: if your CAP falls below 4.00 for the home course, or below 3.50 for the second degree, or both, for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable in the final graduating semester.

c. For candidates admitted to NUS from AY2014/15 onwards: if your CAP falls below 3.75 for the home course, or below 3.25 for the second degree, or both, for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable once a student’s total cumulative modular credits exceeds 160MCs.

S/he will continue with the first degree (i.e., originally offered degree) programme. Upon withdrawal, all the modules which the student has taken to fulfil the requirements of the second degree will be reflected in the transcript and included in the computation of the CAP for the single degree.

* Refers to cohort academic year.

More details on the Double Degree Programme framework and guidelines can be found here.

15. Can you provide some scenarios whereby I would have to withdraw from a DDP as a result of not meeting the continuation requirement?

Please see below for a table of such scenarios. These (non-exhaustive) scenarios apply to candidates admitted to NUS from AY2011-12 AY2014/15 onwards.

Update (1) http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/UG/spugp-double-major.html Double Major Programmes A Double Major is a single degree programme, in which a student satisfies the requirements of two Majors. It is conceived as an opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge and capacities by pursuing a second Major alongside their primary Major. The Second Major affords a significant degree of depth, although its MC requirement is set below that of the primary Major. The Second Major is a non-Honours major. It may be taken in the same faculty that offers the primary major or from a different Faculty. A Second Major consist of at least 48 MCs., of which:. For students admitted prior to AY2014/15 • up to 8 MCs can be counted also towards the Faculty/Primary Major/Minor requirements and • at least 16 MCs must be at Level 3000. For students admitted from AY2014/15 onwards: • up to 16 MCs can be counted also towards the Faculty/Primary Major/Minor requirements; and • at least 16 MCs must be at Level 3000.

FoE

(http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/info/nusbulletin/AY201415_FoE.pdf - Pg 27) Amendments are highlighted in yellow/red: 3.2.2 Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) Overview

Chemical engineering (ChE) and chemical engineers are essential for many industries such as oil and gas, petroleum refining, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, biologics, chemicals, semiconductor/electronic, food, polymers etc. Besides these, chemical engineers find satisfying and rewarding careers in engineering design and consultancy, research institutes, government, educational institutions and finance. All these sectors have been growing and contributing significantly to the manufacturing output in Singapore. The four-year B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) programme at NUS educates budding engineers to design, develop, and operate chemical processes by which chemicals, petroleum products, food, pharmaceuticals and consumer goods can be produced economically and safely with minimal environmental impact. In addition, Chemical Engineering students acquire the necessary background and skills to design and develop functional products that benefit society in many ways. Chemical processes involve reactions, heat transfer, separations and biological phenomena to produce useful and valuable products. Accordingly, they study changes in the composition, energy content and/or state of aggregation of materials, taking into consideration the nature of matter and its properties (chemistry), the forces that act on matter (physics), similar aspects of biological materials (biology), and the relationships between them (mathematics). Chemical engineering differs from chemistry and applied chemistry programmes, with its emphasis on industrial applications of chemical reactions, separations and techniques for designing and operating economical, safe and environmentally benign processes. Programme educational objectives (PEOs) of B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering): Considering expectations of all our stakeholders, Chemical Engineering programme at NUS prepares students with technical expertise, experiences, critical and creative thinking skills, communication skills and other professional attributes. Accordingly, our graduates are expected to succeed in the following within several years after graduation: (1) Excel in careers in the chemical, petroleum, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food, biotechnology, microelectronics, energy, materials processing or other related industries/organizations; (2) Pursue advanced degrees and/or certifications for a career in engineering, academia, business, law, medicine, or research and development;



S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks (3) Display leadership, and also contemporary and global outlook; and (4) Demonstrate high-level of professionalism, ethical and social responsibility, independent learning, and desire for life-long learning. To achieve the above PEOs, the four-year undergraduate Chemical Engineering programme has been designed to provide a complete learning experience by incorporating the three essential components of the university’s curriculum structure, namely, University Level Requirements (ULRs, to provide broad-based education), Programme Requirements (to provide strong background in the discipline) and Unrestricted Elective Modules (UEMs, to give flexibility to students to meet their own aspirations). The requirements for the B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) degree programme ensure a balanced exposure to science, engineering principles and contemporary technology. Besides education in science and technology, students broaden intellectual horizons by taking supporting modules that constitute the ULR and the Faculty Requirements of the Programme Requirements. Building upon many core modules in the first five semesters, technical electives and a research project (dissertation) in the subsequent semesters provide an opportunity to specialize in the student’s area of interest. Students have complete freedom to use UEM to take modules that complement individual career plans or to simply pursue personal curiosity and interest. All Chemical Engineering students are exposed to industrial practice through internship, site visits and/or lectures by practising engineers. They are also provided with networking, globalization and technical/business leadership opportunities through student exchange, overseas colleges, entrepreneurship and minor programmes for broader education. The student learning outcomes (SLOs) of B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) programme are as follows. Graduates of this programme should be able to:

l) apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering to the solution of complex engineering problems;

m) design and conduct experiments, analyse, interpret data and synthesise valid conclusions; n) design a system, component, or process, and synthesise solutions to achieve desired needs; o) identify, formulate, research through relevant literature review, and solve engineering problems

reaching substantiated conclusions; p) use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice with

appropriate considerations for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental contraints;

q) communicate effectively; r) recognize the need for, and have the ability to engage in life-long learning; s) understand the impact of engineering solutions in a societal context and to be able to respond

effectively to the needs for sustainable development; t) function effectively within multi-disciplinary teams and understand the fundamental precepts of

effective project management; u) understand professional, ethical and moral responsibility; and


S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks v) apply critical thinking through independent thought and informed judgement, and develop creative

and innovative solutions. The B.Eng. (ChE) programme at NUS is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Board (EAB) of Singapore. EAB is the Singapore signatory of the Washington Accord, and all signatories of this Accord recognise the substantial equivalence of programmes accredited by one of them, in satisfying the academic requirements for the practice of engineering at the professional level. This means ChE graduates from NUS are accepted for engineering practice in the countries that are part of the Washington Accord. Besides Singapore, signatories in the Washington Accord include Canada, USA, UK, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia.

Degree Requirements

The following are the requirements for the degree of B.Eng. (ChE): • Students in the B.Eng. (ChE) programme are required to complete a minimum of 161 MCs with a

CAP ≥ 2.0 to graduate from the programme. • 161 MCs will have to be earned by reading modules in accordance with Table 3.2.2a. • Students are free to choose any combination of the offered modules from Table 3.2.2b to

satisfycomplete 12 MCs of technical electives requirement. • A student may choose to specialise in Biomolecular Engineering, Microelectronics Processing or

Process Systems Engineering by taking 4 technical electives from the specified basket of electives and the B.Eng. Dissertation (Research Project) in the specialisation area.

• A student must also satisfy other additional requirements that may be prescribed by the Faculty of Engineering or the University.

3.2.2.1 The Chemical Sciences Programme

The Biomedical Sciences sector in Singapore (comprising pharmaceutical, medical technology, biotechnology and healthcare services industries) has undergone rapid growth in the last few years and further expansion is expected. The Chemical Sciences Programme will augment the existing Specialisation Option in Biomolecular Engineering for the Chemical Engineering students by providing a strong foundation in life and chemical sciences starting from the first year of the B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) programme. This training in life and chemical sciences coupled with a strong chemical and process engineering background will provide the graduates with the expertise to embark on further research and technology development related to the Biomedical Sciences sector of Singapore. Students in the Chemical Sciences Programme will be admitted as Chemical Engineering [B.Eng.


S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks (Chemical Engineering)] majors. They will be required to fulfil all the course/modular requirements under the B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) programme. A number of Life Sciences and Chemistry modules are placed under the University and Unrestricted Electives Requirement. The B.Eng. Dissertation (CN4118) should preferably to be carried out in a Life/Chemical Sciences area. Industrial Attachment (IA) is optional for students in this programme. The graduates from this programme will be accredited in accordance with the EAB (Singapore) and IChemE (UK) scheme, in a similar manner as the regular B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) cohort. The modular requirements and recommended semester schedule for students in this programme are available on the Chemical Sciences website at: http://www.chemicalscience.nus.edu.sg/index.htm. The load in the last semester is intentionally made light so that students can proceed to take graduate modules as part of their Ph.D. programme. This will provide a seamless transition between the B.Eng. (Chemical Engineering) and Ph.D. programmes.

Special features of this course include: • Possibility of a Life Science Minor upon the completion of the Chemical Sciences Programme. • The Chemical Sciences Programme study plan permits the cohort to read one or more Level-5000

modules required for a Ph.D. programme if they so choose in the last semester, thereby accelerating the completion of the graduate course.

What is the rationale for increasing the minimum workload per semester from 15 MCs to 18 MCs? The rationale for this increase in minimum workload to 18 MCs is to ensure that students will be on track to graduate on time or earlier, i.e., within 3 years (6 regular semesters) for 120MC degree programmes; and 4 years (8 regular semesters) for 160MC degree programmes. Based on the current undergraduate curriculum structure, the normal student workload is 20 MCs per semester. Over the years, it is noted that of the students who were graduating late, many had a workload of 17MCs or less in one or more semesters other than the final graduating semester. 2. How will this policy of minimum workload of 18 MCs per semester be implemented? This policy will be applicable to all new and returning students with effect from AY2015/16 (except for students from the Faculty of Law and the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music). Exceptions to the 18 MCs minimum workload will be considered on a case by case basis (e.g., for 2nd year students who have accumulated greater than 40 MCs; 3rd year students who have accumulated greater than 80 MCs). You may write to your Home Faculty/School regarding your situation. Please detail how you will be able to graduate on time (i.e., within 3 years for 120MC programmes and 4 years for 160MC programmes), despite falling below the minimum workload required. 3. I intend to ‘underload’ in this semester as I am interested in doing modules over the next summer/special term. Is that possible? As reading modules in the Special Term is optional, you cannot ‘underload’ this semester in anticipation and will have to abide by the minimum workload of 18 MCs.



S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks 4. I am taking my Final Year Project which spans over 2 semesters, how will the MCs be calculated towards the minimum workload of 18 MCs in this case? The policy already takes such a situation into consideration. The minimum workload of 18 MCs is not applicable during the following semesters where students can read fewer MCs:



5. I have 20 MCs of Advanced Placement Credits (APCs) due to my polytechnic diploma and so have lesser workload to clear. Can I plan to read less than 18 MCs over 6 semesters as I intend to pursue the 120MC programme?

The minimum workload of 18 MCs is still applicable to you. The APCs would enable you to complete your degree programme earlier by at least a semester. 6. I have completed my graduation requirements last semester and had decided to stay on for an additional semester, i.e., Semester 1, AY2015/16, to pull up my CAP based on the previous policy of reading ‘a minimum of 15 MCs of Level 3000 and above modules’. Does the new minimum 18 MCs rule now apply to me? Such students who are staying on for this Semester 1, AY2015/16 ‘to pull up their CAP’ will be subjected to the previous policy of reading ‘a minimum of 15 MCs of Level 3000 and above modules’. Students who decide to extend in Semester 2, AY2015/16 and beyond ‘to pull up their CAP’ will be subjected to the new policy of reading ‘a minimum of 18 MCs of Level 3000 and above modules’.)

Updates to web sites (4 Jan 2016) Arising from discussions on removal of the ‘terminal’ feature’ of Graduate Diploma and liberalisation of admission criteria of Masters by coursework programmes at the UCEP (for graduate matters) meeting of 19 November 2015, please update amendments highlighted in red in the respective URLs below. Update (1): http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/info/nusbulletin/AY201415_GeneralInformation.pdf - Pg 32

Graduate Admissions

Minimum Requirements for Coursework-based Programmes

Admission to a coursework-based graduate programme would usually requires at least a Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent, in the subject or related discipline. In addition, programmes may require candidates to demonstrate readiness for graduate study through a specific standard of achievement in:

• Common placement examination (e.g., the subject GRE, GMAT); or • Programme-administered placement test in the relevant field (which may also consist of a structured

interview to test the candidate’s understanding of the field); or • Completion of 40 MCs of preparatory modules.

Exceptionally, candidates with other qualifications and experience may be considered on a case-by-case basis, subject to approval by the BGS.

With the approval of the Senate, programmes may specify relevant work experience as an additional admission requirement.




Credit transfer and exemption for the graduate coursework-based programme may be granted for NUS modules taken and passed prior to admission to the programme or for modules completed at another tertiary institution recognised by the University. Generally, only modules that have not been used towards another degree at NUS or elsewhere may be considered for credit and grade transfers (NUS modules) / exemption (non-NUS modules). For such non-NUS modules, only up to 50% of the total coursework requirements may be exempted. There is no limit on the credit and grade transfers of NUS modules that have not been used towards another degree at NUS. In addition, for coursework-based programmes which require more than the usual 40 MCs, NUS modules that have been used towards another degree at NUS can be considered for credit and grade transfer provided the resultant total coursework requirement does not fall below 40 MCs. All modules for credit transfer and exemption must be relevant to the degree programme to which the candidate seeks admission, have comparable content and level of sophistication, and be read less than five (5) years before the date of admission.

Students seeking credit transfer and exemption should apply to the relevant programme office within the first semester of study.

Graduate Programmes

NUS offers a wide range of graduate programmes catering for a variety of interests, namely:

• Doctoral degree programmes at NUS are primarily research-based. They equip students with the skills required to advance knowledge, and human progress. Doctoral degrees are typically the first choice of students who seek depth of knowledge, enjoy creative problem solving, and who aspire to hold high level positions in their respective fields.

• Master's degree programmes are primarily designed to prepare students for the practice of a profession (typically Master's by coursework), or to master a subject area as a precursor to doctoral training (typically Master's by research).

• Graduate Diploma is offered as a terminal qualification and provides focused limited professional training in a specific niche. Graduate Diploma is often favoured by students who seek additional

http://www.nus.edu.sg/admissions/graduate-studies/graduate-programmes.php


S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks exposure to an area of interest without committing themselves to longer-term further studies.

These programmes offer excellent opportunities for students to further develop their potential as intellectual leaders for a wide range of career paths. Prospective graduate students should consider carefully which type of graduate programme most suits their interests and career aspirations. Increasingly, students pursuing a research-oriented career (whether in industry or academe) and/or wanting to advance quickly in their chosen career, elect to enrol in a Doctoral programme.

NUS is home to students and faculty members from many countries. Its faculty members have an international reputation for research excellence in many fields. They have built collaborations in research across national borders and disciplines. Some of these collaborations provide opportunities for students to work towards a Ph.D. degree conferred jointly by NUS and an overseas partner university.

NUS’ programmes are characterized by intellectual rigour and cutting-edge scholarship. They are designed to nurture a passion for inquiry and to provide you with the tools to tackle intellectual challenges with confidence and creativity.

As a community with a global orientation, NUS welcomes applications from highly qualified students, both local and international. The full list of NUS graduate programmes are given here (http://www.nus.edu.sg/admissions/graduate-studies/graduate-programme-and-contacts.html) with hyperlinks to the individual programme websites.

Graduate Education

NUS offers a variety of comprehensive and challenging graduate programmes, some of which are primarily research-based, while others are coursework-based. The Graduate Diploma is offered as a terminal qualification and provides focused limited professional training in a specific niche. The Master's degree is intended to develop mastery of a field and prepares students for the practice of a profession or as a precursor

http://www.nus.edu.sg/admissions/graduate-studies/graduate-programme-and-contacts.html



S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks to doctoral training. The Doctoral degree is designed to prepare students for creative activity and original research, often in preparation for the pursuit of an academic career. In order to accommodate students with full-time employment, some programmes allow students to enroll on a part-time basis, with modules conducted in the evenings, and in some instances, on Saturdays.

Graduate students are admitted to either a coursework or research programme and are distinguished by the programme in which they are enrolled. The Graduate Diploma and various Master's degree programmes are offered under the coursework structure. The Ph.D. and Master's degrees in certain disciplines are strictly research-based programmes.

Continuation Requirement and Exit The continuation requirements for DDPs are as follows:

• For students admitted before AY2011/12: A student who does not maintain a CAP of 4.00 in modules

http://www.science.nus.edu.sg/undergraduate-studies/ugfaq/faq-current#dblcount




S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks contributing to the original degree for any two consecutive semesters will be required to withdraw from the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. A warning will be issued if the CAP falls below 4.00 in a semester.

• For students admitted with effect from AY2011/12 onwards: A student who does not maintain a CAP of 4.00 in modules contributing to the original degree, and a CAP of 3.50 for the second degree for any two consecutive semesters will be required to withdraw from the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. A warning will be issued if the CAP falls below 4.00 for the original degree in a semester, or below 3.50 for the second degree, or both. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable in the final graduating semester.

• For students admitted from AY2014/15 onwards: A student who does not maintain a CAP of 3.75 in modules contributing to the original degree; and a CAP of 3.25 for the second degree for any two consecutive semesters will be required to withdraw from the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. A warning will be issued if the CAP falls below 3.75 for the original degree in a semester, or below 3.25 for the second degree, or both. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable once a student’s total cumulative modular credits exceeds 160MCs.

A student may decide to withdraw or can be asked to withdraw from the double degree programme by withdrawing from the second degree programme. However, he/she is not allowed to withdraw from the first degree (i.e. originally offered degree) programme and transfer to the second degree programme. All the modules which the student has taken to fulfil the requirements of the second degree will be reflected in the transcript and included in the computation of the CAP for the single degree. No DDP withdrawal is allowed in the midst of a semester (except for graduating cases). DDP students can request to withdraw from the second degree after results release up to the first week of the following semester. DDP students exiting the programme shall be allowed to exercise S/U on the modules taken in the immediate past semester provided they submit their S/U requests to their home faculty by the first week of the following semester. Update (2) FAQs for DDP, CDP and DM http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/faqs/ddp-cdp-dm-faq.html A. Double Degree Programmes (DDPs) 13. What if I do badly or don't like the course?

Students can choose to leave the programme, or can be asked to leave the programme if they fail to meet continuation requirements.

d. For candidates admitted to NUS before AY2011/12*: if your CAP falls below 4.00 for the home course for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. (Students admitted to NUS in AY2010-11 and earlier who are admitted into DDPs after their first year, or who self-design their DDPs will follow this continuation requirement).



S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks e. For candidates admitted to NUS from AY2011/12* onwards: if your CAP falls below 4.00 for the home

course, or below 3.50 for the second degree, or both, for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable in the final graduating semester.

f. For candidates admitted to NUS from AY2014/15 onwards: if your CAP falls below 3.75 for the home course, or below 3.25 for the second degree, or both, for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable once a student’s total cumulative modular credits exceeds 160MCs.

Specific DDPs (e.g. with Law) may stipulate other continuation requirements. Please refer to the specific DDP websites for details. For students leaving the programme, your academic advisor will advise you on the modules you need to complete the degree requirements of your home course. Upon withdrawal, all the modules taken to fulfil the requirements of the second degree will be reflected in the transcript and included in the computation of the CAP for the single degree. *Refers to cohort academic year. 14. What do I need to know about putting together my own double degree combination?

Students interested to pursue their own double degree combinations must have obtained a minimum CAP of 4.00 after completing between 60 to 80 MCs (excluding MCs earned from student exchange programmes or advanced placement credits). Written approval to embark on the DDP must be obtained from the relevant Faculties. Students are advised to seek proper advice from their academic counsellors in planning their modules as early as possible in their candidature.

d. For candidates admitted to NUS before AY2011/12*: if your CAP falls below 4.00 for the home course for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme.

It is conceived as an opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge and capacities by pursuing a second Major alongside their primary Major. The Second Major affords a significant degree of depth, although its MC requirement is set below that of the primary Major. The Second Major is a non-Honours major. It may be taken in the same faculty that offers the primary major or from a different Faculty. A Second Major consist of at least 48 MCs., of which:. For students admitted prior to AY2014/15 • up to 8 MCs can be counted also towards the Faculty/Primary Major/Minor requirements and • at least 16 MCs must be at Level 3000.

DMP website Amendments are highlighted in red below: At http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/education-at-nus/undergraduate-education/special-undergraduate-programmes/double-major-programmes.html: A Double Major is a single degree programme, in which a student satisfies the requirements of two Majors. It is conceived as an opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge and capacities by pursuing a second Major alongside their primary Major. The Second Major affords a significant degree of depth, although its MC requirement is set below that of the Major. The Second Major is a non-Honours major. It may be taken in the same faculty that offers the Major or from a different Faculty. A Second Major consist of at least 48 MCs.

For students admitted prior to AY2014/15:

• up to 8 MCs can be counted also towards the Faculty/Major/Minor requirements; and • at least 16 MCs must be at Level 3000.

S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks Notes: 1: Students are encouraged to take these MA module options should they wish to pursue a more rigorous treatment of the subject topics covered. 2: Students are encouraged to take IE2110 should they wish to choose IE4210 as an elective module. 3: Taught by the Centre for English Language Communication. 3a: For students taking Second Major in Statistics, they can replace ST2334 with ST2131 to meet first major requirement. For students taking the Second Major in Mathematics, they can replace ST2334 with both ST2131 and ST2132 to meet first major requirement. The MCs for ST2132 come from UE. For students taking the minor in Mathematics, they can replace ST2334 with ST2131 and take ST2132 as an unrestrictive elective to meet first major requirement. 4: (i) Business analytics students who are doing or contemplating to do minor/second major requiring ST3131 such as Statistics need to do BT4240 rather than ST3131 as part of the core module requirement of the first major degree. (ii) Business analytics students who are not doing minor/second major requiring ST3131 such as Statistics can choose to do either BT4240 or ST3131. If these students do both modules, then BT4240 can be treated as a core module while ST3131 can be an elective module under List B. (iii) Business analytics students who have taken ST3131 and not taking minor/second major requiring ST3131 such as Statistics, they can take BT4240 as an elective module under List B. 5:Students can choose to take on any current 12 MCs or more internship-related programmes within the School of Computing (e.g., CP3880 Advanced Technology Attachment Programme (ATAP)) and/or within NUS (e.g., Innovative Local Enterprise Achiever Development (iLEAD) and NUS Overseas College (NOC)) in place of IS4010 Industry Internship Programme to satisfy the industry experience requirement.
