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 application and selection occurs a year in advance. You must plan your own study plan by mapping courses at your intended exchange university to equivalent courses in your BEng (MSE) curriculum. However, the grades you obtain while on SEP are not included in the calculation of your GPA, and credits are transferred on a Overseas Satisfactory\/Overseas Unsatisfactory basis. <a href=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/mse\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Sample-Exchange-Mapping.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sample of Past Course Mappings for Exchange Programme<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tInternational Summer (&amp; Winter) Programmes (i-SP)\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<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. Just as with SEP, you would need to prepare a study plan by mapping relevant courses. <a href=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/mse\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Sample-Exchange-Mapping.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sample of Past Course Mappings for Exchange Programme<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tNUS Overseas College (NOC)\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>NOC is a\u00a0<strong>global internship\u00a0<\/strong>and learning experience unique to NUS: you are thrown into the frenzy of a\u00a0<strong>technology start-up<\/strong>\u00a0at one of the hottest entrepreneurial hubs around the world, while juggling\u00a0<strong>courses at a top university<\/strong>\u00a0located nearby.
