Special Programmes

3.4.1 Student Exchange Programme [SEP] and NUS Overseas Colleges [NOC] Programme

Students can spend up to one semester in approved overseas Universities offering similar modules. These modules will count towards the fulfilment of the number of modules required of a student to graduate. One academic year absence is allowed for students joining the NOC Programme.

3.4.2 Practical Training Scheme (PF3401)

B.Sc. (Project and Facilities Management) students undertake a minimum of nine weeks of Practical Training which is normally held at the end of the second semester in the Third Level. The aim of this scheme is to give students essential real-life work exposure in Singapore or abroad. The Department finds suitable placements with an organisation in the construction or real estate industry for students, and their work is supervised by a staff member of the Department, and a senior person within the organisation to which they are attached.

3.4.3 Real Estate Internship Programme

The Real Estate Internship Programme (REIP) is a partnership between industry and academia in the provision of real estate education and training. It provides opportunities during the university vacation for internship training in mainstream private property companies as well as public institutions that serve the industry.

The Department will secure the necessary positions with reputable organisations that are able to provide quality training and exposure for the undergraduates. Participation in the REIP is offered only to selected third year B.Sc. (Real Estate) undergraduates after a rigorous application and selection process. The minimum duration of an internship is nine weeks. This module will contribute 4 MCs.

3.4.4 Summer Programme

This module is designed for third-year undergraduates to examine country-specific issues in socioeconomic, demographic and political dimensions underlying the real estate processes. Students will attend lectures and seminars in both NUS and partner universities in the country of discussion. Site visits to projects and organisations are integral part of the module. Students will work on a project for in-depth study of selected aspects of the real estate industry in the country. This module precludes students who take the Real Estate Internship Programme module.
