| 1. |
What are the specially-designed double degree programmes (DDPs) offered for direct admission to the first year at NUS?
NUS offers the following DDPs for direct admission, namely:
|
| 2. |
Who is the course for?
The specially designed DDPs which allow for direct admission in the first year are aimed at outstanding students who have the capability and desire to explore more than one course of study. DDPs are exacting courses of study and are thus meant for highly motivated and outstanding students.
Students on DDPs would acquire additional sets of skills and are well-placed for multiple career options upon graduation.
|
| 3. |
When can I be admitted to a DDP?
You can be admitted at the point of admission to NUS, or at the end of one year of study at NUS. |
| 4. |
How does one apply for a DDP at the point of admission to NUS?
In the application form, you will be given 8 choices to rank your preference for a home course – these will all be single degree courses. After that, you will be asked to indicate whether you are interested in DDPs. If you are, then you will need to rank your preference for the DDPs.
Please note that the DDPs will be listed together with the CDPs as the second set of courses. You will be given 4 choices to rank your preference from among the DDPs and CDPs. |
| 5. |
What are the criteria for admission to a DDP?
Selection for admission to a DDP is based on academic merit and competition among applicants for a limited number of places. To be eligible for admission into a DDP, students must meet the admission criteria of both Faculties, that is:
| a) |
excellent grades in all the subjects and the General Paper at the A level; |
| b) |
meet the mother tongue (MT) requirement for admission to the university; and |
| c) |
meet the subject pre-requisites, if any, of both Faculties. |
Some Faculties/Schools may require their applicants to meet additional criteria such as interviews. For these Faculties/Schools, shortlisted applicants will receive a notification around mid-April to attend the interview. |
| 6. |
Can I change my mind about accepting a DDP after being made an offer?
Yes. When you are made an offer for a DDP, you will also be offered admission into a home course. At this juncture, you can still indicate whether you wish to accept a place in the DDP or in the single degree course. |
| 7. |
Which Faculty/School do I belong to once I enter a DDP?
When you receive an offer from NUS, you will be informed of the home course you are admitted to. You will belong to the Faculty/School offering the home course.
Should you decide to drop out of the DDP or if you fail to fulfill the continuation requirement (see Question 13 of FAQs), then you will have to return to your home course. |
| 8. |
What happens if I am not selected for direct admission to a DDP?
If you are not selected for direct admission to a DDP, you will be considered for single degree programmes based on the choices you have indicated in your application. This is provided you meet the cut-offs and subject pre-requisites of your choices.
Further, you can still apply for a DDP at the end of your first year at NUS if you have done well. All the DDPs will consider applications from students who have done well after one year of study in NUS. |

On completion of the DDP you will receive two degree scrolls, one for each degree. |
| 11. |
How long will it take to complete the course?
Normally a DDP will take five years to complete. The length of time each individual student takes to complete the DDP, however, will depend on the way he/she plans the course. The maximum period of candidature for a double degree is six years. |
| 12. |
What tuition fees will be charged to students doing DDPs? Is there any difference in the tuition fee structure compared with the single degree programmes?
AY2006/07 cohort and before:
For the AY2006/07 cohort, students in a DDP will pay the prevailing tuition fee of the Faculty/School offering the home course (see Question 7 of FAQs) for all five years of study.
The prevailing tuition fee refers to the “Direct Payment” amount after taking into consideration the Tuition Grant provided by the Ministry of Education. For more information on fees, please click here.
AY2007/08 cohort:
For the AY2007/08 cohort, students in a DDP will pay the prevailing tuition fee of the Faculty/School offering the home course (see Question 7 of FAQs) for the first four years of study.
For the fifth year of study, in view of limited or no Tuition Grant from the Ministry of Education, the home course fees payable are pegged as follows:
- DDPs where one of the degrees is in Engineering or Computing (except for any DDPs involving Law) : two times the prevailing fee
- All other DDPs (including all DDPs involving Law) : four times the prevailing fee
However, in view of the financial implications for students, NUS will offer scholarships to help offset 50% of the total tuition fee in the fifth year. In other words,
- For DDPs where one of the degrees is in Engineering or Computing, students will only need to pay the prevailing tuition fee of the Faculty/School offering the home course (except for any DDPs involving Law);
- For all other DDPs, students will pay two times the prevailing tuition fee of the Faculty/School offering the home course (including all DDPs involving Law).
AY2008/09 cohort and after:
For the AY2008/09 cohort and after where differentiated cohort-based fees are implemented, students in a DDP will pay the prevailing tuition fee of the Faculty/School offering the home course (see Question 7 of FAQs) for the first four years of study.
For the fifth year of study, in view of limited or no Tuition Grant from the Ministry of Education, the fees payable are pegged as follows:
- DDPs where one of the degrees is in Engineering or Computing (except for any DDPs involving Law) : two times the prevailing fee
- All other DDPs (including all DDPs involving Law) : four times the prevailing fee
However, in view of the financial implications for students, NUS will offer scholarships to help offset 50% of the total tuition fee in the fifth year. In other words,
- For DDPs where one of the degrees is in Engineering or Computing, students will only need to pay the prevailing tuition fee of the Faculty/School offering the second degree (except for any DDPs involving Law);
- For all other DDPs, students will pay two times the prevailing tuition fee of the Faculty/School offering the second degree (including all DDPs involving Law).

| 13. |
What if I do badly or don't like the course?
Students can choose to leave the programme, or can be asked to leave the programme if they fail to meet continuation requirements. In general, if your CAP falls below 4.0 for the home course for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP. Specific DDPs (e.g. with Law) may stipulate other continuation requirements. Please refer to the specific DDP websites for details.
For students leaving the programme, your academic advisor will advise you on the modules you need to complete the degree requirements of your home course. Upon withdrawal, all the modules taken to fulfil the requirements of the second degree will be reflected in the transcript and included in the computation of the CAP for the single degree. |
| |
|
| 14. |
What do I need to know about putting together my own double degree combination?
Students interested to pursue their own double degree combinations must have obtained a minimum CAP of 4.0 after completing between 60 to 80 MCs (excluding MCs earned from student exchange programmes or advanced placement credits). Written approval to embark on the DDP must be obtained from the relevant Faculties. Students are advised to seek proper advice from their academic counsellors in planning their modules as early as possible in their candidature.
A student who does not maintain a CAP of 4.0 in modules contributing to the original degree for any two consecutive semesters will be required to withdraw from the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. S/he will continue with the first degree (i.e., originally offered degree) programme. Upon withdrawal, all the modules which the student has taken to fulfil the requirements of the second degree will be reflected in the transcript and included in the computation of the CAP for the single degree. |
B. Concurrent Degree Programmes (CDPs)
| 1. |
What is a Concurrent Degree programme (CDP)?
CDPs involve a combination of a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree from the same Faculty/School or from two different Faculties/Schools and allow a student to pursue a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree concurrently. The programme structure allows some of the requirements for the Bachelor’s degree to be double counted towards the Master’s degree so that a student could graduate in four and a half to five years with both degrees, something which would normally take between five and a half and six years if pursued separately.
Students on CDPs would acquire additional sets of skills and are well-placed for multiple career options upon graduation.
The following CDPs are currently being offered –
|
| 2. |
When can I be admitted to a CDP and what are the criteria for admission?
(1) For the following CDPs, students will be admitted after a period of study:

C. Double Major (DM) Programmes
| 1. |
What is a double major (DM)?
A Double Major is a single degree programme in which a student satisfies the requirements of two majors, a primary major and a second major. |
| 2. |
Who is the course for?
Double Majors are conceived as an opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge and capacities with a significant degree of depth by pursuing a second major alongside their primary major. By acquiring an additional set of skills, students are well-placed for multiple career options. |
| 3. |
When can I be admitted to a DM? What are the criteria for admission to a DM?
Students may be admitted to a second major based on:
- direct application after being offered a place in the various Faculties/Schools
- application not later than the 5th semester of study (Faculties may stipulate earlier application)
Faculties/Schools will make the selection according to their criteria, for example, the places available and CAP requirement. |
| 4. |
How many modules do I have to take for my second major?
A second major will consist of at least 48 MCs of modules of which:
- up to 8 MCs can be double counted;
- at least 16 MCs must be at level 3 or above.
|
| 5. |
Can my second major be taken from another faculty?
The second major may be taken in the same Faculty/School as the primary major, or from a different Faculty/School. |
| 6. |
How many degree scrolls will I receive, and what are the qualifications I will receive if I have read a DM successfully?
Students who complete a DM successfully will receive one degree scroll, for the primary major only. The second major will, however, be recorded in the transcript. |
| 7. |
Can I get an honours degree for my second major?
No, the second major will be a non-Honours major. |
| 8. |
How long will it take to complete the course?
The DM programme has been designed in such a way that generally with proper planning, students need not take more than four years to complete both their primary and second majors. At most, it is envisaged that some students may take four and a half years. |
| 9. |
What tuition fees will be charged to students doing DMs? Is there any difference in the tuition fee structure compared with the single degree programmes?
Double Major students are working towards a single degree and thus will pay the same fees as those pursuing single majors. |
| 10. |
What if I do badly in, or don't like the second major?
There is no formal exit process. Students may decide to discontinue the second major at any time and work towards completing their primary major. They are, however, required to inform the Faculties/Schools if they plan to drop the second major. In such cases, the modules associated with the second major will continue to count towards the student’s CAP. Double Major students will not be barred from continuing because of poor academic performance but they might be advised by their respective Faculties/Schools against continuing if they are performing badly. |
