Singapore Center funding requirements

Students will have to fulfill a minimum of 6 courses at graduate level, of which the Summer Course – Fundamentals of Environmental Life Science Engineering (which is equivalent to XNUMX courses) is a compulsory module.

Unique to the Singapore centre, our students can choose courses from within Nanyang University or both campuses. Note that one of the six courses must be outside the student's main research topic.

Students will also have to pass a written qualifying examination, after passing a minimum of four graduate-level courses (with CGPA/CAP > 3.8).

The summer session must be one of the four graduate-level courses taken. This written qualifying examination must be completed within 15 months of the date of admission.

The university may also require students to take mandatory non-graded courses, such as research ethics, and fulfill teaching hours as part of the student candidacy requirements. my choice:

• If students are interested in taking bachelor's level courses in areas that fall outside of their undergraduate training, students may take up to two (undergraduate) units that will be listed as part of the student's transcript as a pass/fail grade.
• Students registered at the Singapore hub will only be able to attend the bridging modules offered by their university.
