General structure of the programme
Students admitted to the E-Scholars programme are also enrolled in one of the Engineering Departments at NUS. The graduation requirements for E-Scholars is the same as all other Engineering students in the chosen Department. Nevertheless, E-Scholars will complete their B.Eng degree in 3 years. The distribution of modular credits across the 3 years is slightly different for each of the Departments. As a general example, the following table illustrates a possible schedule where the numbers represent modular credits (MC). A typical NUS module is worth 4 MC.
| Sem I | Sem II | TOTAL | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Advance Placement Credits | 12 | ||
| Year 1 | 26 | 28 | 54 |
| Year 2 | 28 | 20
(NOC) |
48 |
| Year 3 | 24 | 22 | 46 |
| TOTAL | 160 | ||
With reference to the table above, please note the following
- Numbers may change slightly for each individual Department (see below).
- The NUS Overseas Colleges (NOC) (6-month programme) is optional for E-Scholars.
- The Student Exchange Programme (SEP) is optional (and subsidized). E-Scholars have priority placement.
- Advance Placement Credits are modules that E-Scholars will take before entering NUS. Students will study independently on textbooks and other reference material. They will then sit for a test to clear those credits.
