Admissions
Your Journey To Success
The Bachelor of Engineering in Materials Science Engineering Programme was awarded re-accreditation for students graduating from the programme from AY 2020/2021 to 2024/2025 by the Institution of Engineers Singapore (IES) in 2021 October. The re-accreditation is conducted every five years by IES to certify the MSE programme at NUS in satisfying the academic requirements for the practice of engineering at the professional level. The accreditation is recognized by the signatories to the Washington Accord, including representatives from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. The MSE programme at NUS was fully accredited in 2012 and the accreditation has covered students graduating from the programme since the first cohort.

There is no impact on students who earn Advanced Placement Credits with grade through pre-taken NUS courses, such as students enrolled in the Engineering Scholars Programme or students participating in the special scheme with top polytechnic students. These students would continue to earn the APGs up to the 40 Units allowable for polytechnic holders.
Indicative Grade Profile
NUS provides notification of grade profiles to help you make informed choices in your application for admission to NUS undergraduate courses. Do note that grade profiles vary from year to year and meeting a previous year’s grades does NOT guarantee admission for future years. Please read the full details of the grade profiles carefully before using the information as your guide.
Selection tests or interviews are not required as part of the application process except for applicants under consideration for scholarships or aptitude-based (discretionary) admission.
