NUS Engineering has over 110 partner universities in 32 countries, including premier institutions, such as the University of California, Imperial College London, University of Tokyo and Tsinghua University. Furthermore, we are the only engineering school in the world to have exchanges with both Cambridge and Oxford universities.<\/p>\n<p>SEP typically takes place in Year 3, although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nus.edu.sg\/gro\/global-programmes\/student-exchange\/outgoing-exchangers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">application and selection<\/a> occurs a year in advance. You must design your own study plan by mapping courses at your intended exchange university to equivalent courses in your BEng (ME) curriculum. However, the grades you obtain while on SEP are not included in the calculation of your GPA, and course credits are transferred on a Satisfactory\/Unsatisfactory basis.<\/p>\nFor more information on course mappings, credit transfers etc, please refer to the following links:<br \/>\n<em>(requires login; accessible to current students only)<\/em>\n<p>For students of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nusu.sharepoint.com\/sites\/ME-UG\/SitePages\/Student-Exchange-Programme.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>BEng (Mechanical Engineering)<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nusu.sharepoint.com\/teams\/NUSEngineeringScienceProgrammeUndergraduateMatters\/SitePages\/Student-Exchange-Programme.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BEng (Engineering Science)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nusu.sharepoint.com\/sites\/RMI261\/SitePages\/SEP.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BEng (Robotics and Machine Intelligence)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nus.edu.sg\/gro\/global-programmes\/summer-and-winter-programmes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Summer (&amp; Winter) Programmes (i-SP)<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Coinciding with the NUS vacations, these shorter overseas programmes still immerse you in a foreign environment while you earn credits without affecting your regular academic schedule.
