Essential Guide to International Programmes

The International Relations Office (IRO) works with more than 300 partner universities in 50 countries around the world to send you on exciting international programmes. Our wide-ranging spectrum of international summer programmes (i-SP), internships (i-Intern), research attachments (i-RAP) and university network programmes provide stimulating opportunities to gain the skills required to be a future-ready graduate. Innovative programmes such as our Study Trips for Engagement and EnRichment (STEER), take students to emerging markets such as Latin America and the Middle East to explore, together with a faculty member, issues and themes associated with a particular region. During your undergraduate years, these programmes will hopefully provide the opportunity for you to experience student life in a foreign country, pick up a new language, experience different cultures, overcome novel challenges, make new friends and ultimately become global citizens! Peruse these pages to find out where you can go, what you can do, and how you can make informed choices regarding your study abroad options!

SEP is an opportunity for students to spend one or two semesters studying at a partner university; earning credits towards their NUS degree, while continuing to pay NUS tuition fees. SEP is a chance for students to experience a different academic culture, live in a foreign country and possibly learn a new language! Students can choose from more than 300 partner universities in 50 countries, either under a University-wide (across participating Faculties) or a Faculty-level (specific to a particular School or Faculty) Exchange arrangement.

ABOUT

STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAMME (SEP)

Tang Jet Yang DanielNUS Business School, SEP to Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi, Italy

SEP is about strengthening the bonds we have with each other through the challenging moments and fun times, and rediscovering my Singaporean identity.

I am now more appreciative and proud of Singapore’s achievements.

During my exchange to Duke University, I joined an Alternative Fall Break Program and went to Apopka, Florida for a service learning trip at Hope Community Center.

International Summer/Winter Programmes (i-SP)

NUS students can participate in i-SP offered by partner universities and global university networks of which NUS is a member. They allow students to explore and cultivate a deeper appreciation of the culture and lifestyle of the host country through opportunities for personal development and independent travel. Some i-SPs also allow students to explore non-traditional countries. These programmes are generally held during the NUS vacation period from May to August (summer) and December to January (winter).

The STEER Indonesia trip to South Sulawesi, Makassar, definitely revealed to us a side of Indonesia that we seldom appreciate. We are truly thankful for such an opportunity to understand Indonesia better and build stronger relationships with our neighbours.

Through this STEER trip, I learnt the various factors to consider when analysing an emerging market and ways in which I can hone valuable communication skills. I hope other students will be able to take part in this enjoyable experience so that they will be able to benefit as much as I did.

STEER participants on their way to the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation in Astana to learn how Kazakhstan’s diverse population lives in peace, harmony and accord.

The experiences, knowledge and skills gained from the STEER Kazakhstan programme have opened a gateway for me to the Central Asian region. STEER offers an abundance of career opportunities and the promise of exciting prospects. Undoubtedly, the entire programme has impacted me positively to pursue a career beyond Singapore and to be at the bridgehead forging business and economic links between the two.

I have actively encouraged some of my friends in Thailand to apply for the TF LEaRN Programme @ NUS so that they could experience the benefits of this programme. The programme has empowered me to go beyond my boundaries and allowed me to play a part in building the foundation for an integrated region of the future.

I really appreciate Temasek Foundation for giving me this opportunity to take part in the TF LEaRN programme. I have learned a lot from this out-of-classroom experience. After doing volunteer work in Shanghai, I realised how satisfying it is to think for and to help others, and hope to be more involved back in Singapore. I will definitely recommend this programme to my peers at NUS.

The Sino-Singapore Undergraduate Exchange (SSUE) Programme is a prestigious programme spearheaded by the respective Ministries of Education (MOE) of Singapore and China. It is the only G-G (Government to Government) Tertiary Exchange Programme between Singapore and China. The programme was initiated in 2002 by Singapore’s then Prime Minister Mr Goh Chok Tong to provide an avenue for cross cultural exchange between local university students and selected Chinese universities. The programme aims to instil Singaporean students with a global perspective and an enhanced understanding of China and its potential. It also exposes students from China to various aspects of Singaporean life, education and culture. The programme consists of two legs – the first in China (May), followed by Singapore (July).

FINANCIAL AID

FINANCING YOUR INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES

FINANCING YOUR SEPSEP is a great opportunity for students to experience studying in an overseas university without worrying about additional tuition fees of overseas partner institutions. During SEP, students continue to pay NUS tuition fees, but apart from this, students must ensure that they have the financial means for other expenses like airfare and living costs during their SEP abroad. Students should consider the affordability of various SEP destinations when planning their exchange semester(s), as the cost of living varies from cities to cities.

To help students alleviate the financial burden of participating in SEP, a number of financial assistance schemes are available for students to apply.
