Introduction
One of benefits of the modular and two-semester system is that students will be able to consider undertaking a semester of study in an overseas university. Going abroad for one semester to learn and live in a new environment is a new challenge which the University and the School will like to encourage as many students as possible to experience.
We believe this experience will help to equip our students better to participate in the global economy that awaits them. Given the Singapore government's encouragement to globalize, evidence of an international perspective will be an advantage in their future career.
Students on exchange programmes will take the prescribed courses and some elective courses and their respective examinations in the overseas universities. These will be deemed to replace part of the requirements of the BSc course here and the grades achieved will be converted to the local system.
