Requirements for the NUS Exchange

Students applying for the exchange programme:

• must be available from mid July, when the course starts, until it finishes in May of the following year.
• should normally have obtained at least a II.1 at Part IA of the Engineering course and be expected to do likewise at Part IB
• should be open to experiencing a different culture and different style of education
• should not normally be natives of Singapore or of a country with a closely related culture. This is because the exchange would not represent an 'international experience' to the same extent for such students.

Courses at NUS are given in English so there is no linguistic requirement for the exchange.

Positions on the exchange will be allocated based on competitive selection. The criteria for this selection will include the extent to which an international experience, such as the exchange, is likely to be of benefit to the student. The selection will be organised by the Department and representatives of Shell UK who are providing sponsorship.

If you have any queries about eligibility, please contact Dr Gopal Madabhushi.
