CUED Exchange Program with the National University of Singapore
For the academic year 2010-2011 we plan to offer two places for Engineering or Manufacturing
Engineering students to spend the third year of their degree at the National
University of Singapore (NUS). Selection is competitive but carries with it a bursary
sponsored by Shell, UK to cover some of the additional 'out-of-pocket' expenses.
Singapore is widely considered as 'soft landing' into Asia and
provides a great introduction into technological innovations occurring in the region.
Cambridge students participating in the Exchange Programme spend their third year in
Singapore instead of doing Part IIA or MET Part I. The course at NUS starts in July and
ends in May of the following year. Exchange students will be assessed at NUS (by a combination
of examinations, coursework and project work) and, subject to a satisfactory performance
(i.e., the equivalent to a Cambridge third-class honours or above) will be deemed to have
deserved honours at Part IIA. Note that, as with students participating in the MIT or Ecole
Centrale exchanges, students do not receive a degree classification for their third year.
As students who have taken part in the MIT or Ecole Centrale Paris exchange
programs agree, the opportunity to study abroad and develop a global perspective
is invaluable. More information about the academic disciplines at NUS can be
found at http://www.eng.nus.edu.sg/ero/index.php.
