Final-Year Project

Final-Year Project (FYP) provides you with the opportunity to showcase the abilities and talents you have acquired during your time at WKWSCI. Since its inception, one of the goals of the Wee Kim Wee Final-Year Project is for students to complete a project that reaches a wider audience than the school. Wee Kim Wee students do campaigns for clients that reach broad audiences. They produce videos that are shown at international festivals and win international competitions. They produce impactful journalism that is published in mainstream media. Our students have a remarkable record of completing research projects that are presented at international conferences and published in international, peer-reviewed academic journals.

 

  • Each student must complete at least 91 AUs
  • Additional pre-requisites vary by project type ​​​
  • The requirement for pre-requisites will be strictly enforced
  • You only need to pass the course to fulfil a pre-requisite. Neither the course type nor the grade matters, so it can be taken as an MPE or a BDE, or on exchange.

Students who have not taken all pre-requisites for their project type when the project begins will need to inform the WKWSCI Undergraduate Office of their plans to take the pre-requisites as co-requisites in Year 4 Semester 1 , except for some courses that must be completed before the start of Year 4 Semester 1. Each request will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
