Come embark on an intellectual adventure you never even thought possible - the Talent Development Programme (TDP) where students have the freedom to determine their chosen course of academic pursuit. We believe that students are responsible for their own education.

If you are academically talented and highly motivated, NUS offers you the TDP where students experience special challenges and the best opportunities available. The TDP is a premier programme which encourages you to seek breadth and excellence in your undergraduate studies. It is directed at students who have the potential to become leaders in their chosen fields in the future.

This programme is available in the Faculties of Architecture, Building and Real Estate, Arts & Social Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Law, Science and the School of Computing.

Students in the TDP participate in inter-disciplinary seminars and activities, pursue independent study, conduct undergraduate research, and attend enhanced or specialized versions of many courses. They will also read modules in the Core Curriculum NUS, as well as be given priority in overseas exchange programmes and accommodation in the halls of residence.

"Ever since I participated in the TDP, I have learnt many things that are not taught in a formal classroom setting, talked to people I had never thought of meeting, and accomplished many things that I had previously considered only a dream."
