Exchange Programs - Application Details

Selection of exchange students conducted biannually

Selection of students for the exchange program is conducted biannually. Students can now apply for SEP in the November-December application period for semester 1 or 2 in the following academic year, or in the February-March application period for semester 2 of the same academic year.

Please read the instructions carefully before proceeding to apply for SEP.

If you are a scholarship holder, please submit the sample endorsement letter for the awarding organisation. This should be submitted to the Dean's Office.

USP students on overseas exchange may substitute up to one First-Tier module and one Advanced Curriculum module with USP's approval. Please consult this link for details.

Please note that the International Relations Office facilitates by structuring preparatory programs for some languages. The Language Preparation Programme (LPP) for some European countries, for example, may help but is not necessary for most SEP cases.

Students in BBA(Accounting) need to be mindful of certain restrictions. Double Degree Programs students have their own particular concern.

 

Please refer to the equivalent Module Master List only after you have been selected as an NUS exchange student. You only need to fill up the modules mapping form if the modules you intend to take and their proposed equivalent do not appear on the list.

There is no Module Master List for postgraduate students. They will have to submit their mapping forms directly to the Graduate Division for approval.

If you need information on course curriculum, please refer to curriculum information for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Students are encouraged to apply for the various scholarships, awards, grants and loans available for going on exchange, especially NUS Awards for Study Abroad (NASA).

Available funds include the SEP Loan Fund administered by the Registrar's Office, the DUO awards, the NUS-UBC Lee Foundation Award and the Hungarian Scholarship administered by the IRO.

Students can also approach the Citizens' Consultative Committee in their respective constituencies to check out whether there are any loans or grants available.

Please note that graduate students are not eligible to apply for loans and grants.

 

Within the first two weeks of reaching your PU, exchange students will need to fill up the exchange courses form and fax it back to NUS to inform us of the exact list of modules that you are taking.

When you are back from your PU, kindly fill up your transcript form and return it to us.

Please also provide us with your contact details once you arrive in your PU to enable us to contact you in case of emergencies.
