Student Exchange Programme (SEP)

To broaden the students’ exposure, around two-thirds of each cohort goes for a one-semester overseas exchange programme during their third year to distinguished design schools. Our partner schools include:

  • Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)
  • École cantonale d'art de Lausanne (ECAL)
  • Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)
  • Georgia Institute of Technology
  • Institut Supérieur du Design (ISD) Rubika
  • Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST)
  • L'École Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle (ENSCI–Les Ateliers)
  • National Cheng Kung University (NCKU)
  • Polytechnic University of Milan
  • Strate School of Design (Serves and Lyon Campus)
  • Tsinghua University
  • Zhejiang University (ZJU)
  • The Ohio State University


Under the Student Exchange Programme (SEP), students can spend up to one semester in approved overseas Universities offering similar courses. These courses could be counted towards the fulfilment of the student’s graduation requirements.

Each student is eligible for only one of these semester-out experience throughout his/her candidature at the division: Student Exchange Programme (SEP), Semester-long internship (Special Studies) or NUS Overseas College (NOC).
