Double Degree Programmes with College of Humanities and Sciences (CHS)

Students from Cohort AY2021/2022 onwards may pursue a double degree programme (DDP) between the College of Design and Engineering (CDE) and the College of Humanities and Sciences (CHS) which may comprise any combination of majors between the two colleges. They will graduate with two honours degrees, one from CDE and the other from CHS. The DDP can be completed within 4 or 4.5 years (i.e. 8 or 9 regular semesters).

Double counting of courses between the two majors from CDE and CHS, including the joint final year project (FYP)/honours thesis (HT), will be considered on a major-to-major basis. This is subject to a limit of 24 Units (i.e., 40% of each major) and a minimum graduation requirement of 160 Units for the DDP.

The pre-approved double counting arrangements between CDE and CHS majors for ESP may be found below:

  • Engineering (all disciplines) with Economics
  • Engineering (all disciplines) with Mathematics
  • Engineering (all disciplines) with Quantitative Finance
  • Engineering Science with Physics

Student Exchange Programme (SEP)

ESP students are encouraged to go on SEP, and they can apply for the same SEP places as other students in the College of Design and Engineering (CDE). In addition, ESP are given extra places to some of its partner universities, who also have Engineering Science Programmes. These partner universities include the University of Toronto, KTH in Sweden, Osaka University, and the University of Auckland. Osaka University also offer summer internship opportunities.

ESP at NUS is a member of the International Engineering Science Consortium (IESC), and is constantly working with various other partner universities around the world to bring their students and staff in closer collaboration.
