  FAQ

• Will polytechnic diploma graduates receive the MOE tuition grant in their 4th year?
  From Academic Year 2026, polytechnic diploma graduates will be matriculated into Year 1. Eligible students are entitled to subsidised fees under the MOE Tuition Grant for the normal four-year course duration.
  
• If I graduate one year or one semester earlier, do I still need to pay for tuition fees for the remaining duration in Year 4? 
  Students who complete their degree course one year or one semester earlier need not pay tuition fees for the remaining duration in Year 4. In the event of early completion or withdrawal, the student remains liable for any outstanding unpaid course fees.

 NOTES

¹   Pass in H1 Level / ‘O’ Level Physics is only applicable to applicants who have not read H2 Level Physics. Applicants with a good grade in 'O' Level Combined Science [(Physics and Chemistry) or (Physics and Biology)] will be considered.
²   Pass in Standard Level Physics is only applicable to applicants who have not read Higher Level Physics.
³   Overall CAP of 2.0 in Physics is only applicable to applicants who have not majored in Physics.
⁴   Pass in Junior High School Level Physics is only applicable to applicants who have not read Senior High School Level Physics.

Applicants with only a H1 Level / ‘O’ Level pass in Physics are required to read 'PH1012 Physics A' instead of 'PH1011 Physics' in their first semester. Computer Engineering and Computer Science students will read 'SC1013 Physics for Computing' instead.

^* Students who are undecided on their Engineering major may opt for Engineering (i.e. Common Engineering) at the point of application. All Common Engineering students will read a semester of common first year courses after which they will be streamed into either Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Materials Engineering or Mechanical Engineering at the end of Year 1, Semester 1. In all cases, admissions and streaming into an engineering major is merit-based.

This is a 4-year Direct Honours Degree Programme that provides a complete education and creates diverse opportunities to harness the talents of students and nurture graduates not limited by boundaries. The University launched an Interdisciplinary Common Core (ICC) curriculum for all undergraduate students which started in August 2021 as part of the NTU 2025 Strategic Plan to improve teaching outcomes and to prepare our students for lifelong learning. Students will also be given the opportunity to have a full semester internship attached to an industrial firm for practical learning experience.  

The ICC curriculum consists of the following three main components:

1.	Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core (ICC) : ~25%
	➤  University-Level Core: 17 AU Inquiry and Communication in the Interdisciplinary World Navigating the Digital World Ethics & Civics in a Multi-Cultural World Career and Entrepreneurial Development for the Future World Healthy Living & Wellbeing Sustainability: Society, Economy & Environment Science & Technology for Humanity  ➤  College-Level Core: 15 AU Introduction to Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Engineering Communication Professional Internship
2.	Major Requirement (Core & Major Prescribed Electives) : ~60%
	➤  Core Programme Requirement:  80 AU ➤  MajorPrescribed Electives (MPE): 3 AU
3.	Broadening and Deepening Electives (BDE) : ~15%
	➤  Can be used for Second Major, Minor, Specialisation, Work-Study programme, MOOCs or any electives (including additional MPE)

Details on curriculum structure can be found on this page.
