Under the modular system, where students can progress at their own pace, the Special Term is mounted to cater to students who wish to graduate earlier. NUS welcomes those who have completed their full-time National Service and who have places reserved for them in NUS to register for studies earlier, if they wish, during the Special Terms.
The Special Term comprises two parts, each of which lasts six weeks:
- Part 1 – May to June
- Part 2 – June to July
