Major Requirements – Essential Modules (65 MCs)

Note: A module with module code TIExxxx is equivalent to the module IExxxx offered to the full-time students. Subject to the approval from SCALE and the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management, a student may select a full-time equivalent module in place of any TIExxxx module.

Major Requirements – Elective Modules (20 MCs, to be selected from the list below)

Not all elective modules may be offered in any semester/year. An elective module may not be offered if there is insufficient number of students opting for that module at any particular time. In the rare event that a student is unable to secure sufficient number of electives from the below list to complete their requirements, permission may be granted by SCALE and the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management for the student to select one Level-3000 or higher module from other programmes within the Faculty of Engineering.

Note: A module with module code TIExxxx is equivalent to the module IExxxx offered to the full-time students. Subject to the approval from SCALE and the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management, a student may select a full-time equivalent module in place of any TIExxxx module.

These modules allow students to explore greater breadth or depth in any subject and at any level. Students may use these modules to meet the requirements for a specialisation, minor, double major, double degree, or concurrent Bachelor-Master degree.

Complete a minimum of 161 MCs.

A minimum 60% of Programme/Major/Second Major credits must be earned from NUS modules, which are defined as all modules taught, co-taught, supervised or co-supervised by one or more NUS faculty members. These would consist of graded modules with assigned grade points, or modules with an ‘S' or ‘CS' grade.

The other 40% of credits may be earned through credit transfers, advanced placement and exemptions, provided these MCs are earned from modules deemed relevant to the particular Major/Programme.

For reference, the tuition fees for previous cohorts are set out here.

Note: BTech fees are charged on a cohort-based system, where tuition fees are fixed throughout a student’s candidature, based on the prevailing fee for the intake in which the student was admitted. The fees are reviewed annually, with adjustments being made as and when necessary with each new cohort of students. This system, which has been in place at NUS since AY2008/09, allows each new cohort to anticipate the approximate total tuition fees they have to pay throughout their candidature

The Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) provides eligible Singaporeans and SPRs taking undergraduate degree programmes for the first time in local universities, even if on a part-time basis, with a substantial tuition fee subsidy.
