Adult Learners Scheme

The Adult Learners Scheme (ALS) is an alternative pathway for working adults to apply for admission into NTU full-time undergraduate programme.  We recognise the value that adult learners bring to the classroom with their work and life experiences that will enrich the diversity of our undergraduates.
