Admission Enquiries
Contact Office of Admission
Students with outstanding ‘A’ Level, IB, NUS High School Diploma, or Polytechnic Diploma results may qualify for exemptions from selected first-year courses (up to three for pre-university qualifications).
Interdisciplinary Common Core (ICC) curriculum
- Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core (ICC): approximately 25%
- Major Requirements (Core and Major Prescribed Electives): approximately 60%
- Broadening and Deepening Electives (BDE): approximately 15%
The BDE can be used for a Second Major, Minor, Specialization, Work-Study programme, MOOCs, or any electives (including additional Major Prescribed Electives). Students will also have the opportunity to complete a full-semester internship with an industrial firm for practical learning experience.
Duration
The Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental Engineering) is a four year, full-time direct honours programme.
Minor
Students can acquire multiple skills and broader knowledge beyond what their major discipline may provide through minor programmes. There are more than 45 minors available in NTU.
Second Major
A Second Major programme provides students with a breadth of exposure and is also designed to offer greater depth of study in an additional discipline compared to a minor.
