Detail

Jointly administered by Singapore Polytechnic (SP) and the National University of Singapore (NUS), the SP-NUS College of Humanities and Sciences University Accelerated Pathway Programs (UAPP)* as well as SP-NUS Design and Engineering University Accelerated Pathway Program, provide an opportunity for high-achieving students to unleash their potential through these university pathway programmes. Hence, our students shall have that competitive edge over their peers in their chosen fields of interest.

Students enrolled in the School of Chemical and Life Sciences (CLS) courses will have the opportunity to take modules taught by NUS's Faculty of Science (FoS) and Faculty of Engineering while studying at SP. These university-level modules will fulfil SP graduation requirements and use as replacement of SP elective modules. In addition, NUS might recognise those credits earned through UAPP if our students choose to pursue their first degree there.

The collaboration between SP and NUS offers other benefits to our students.

Student will have early exposure to NUS courses, allowing SP-NUS UAPP students to take NUS courses during their full-time study at SP.

Students will be provided with multiple pathways to succeed through ability-driven education.

SP students will have a chance to deepen their knowledge and broaden their learning horizon through their UAPP as they will be reading advanced modules beyond polytechnic at NUS.

SP students will experience first-hand university culture and environment during their full-time study at SP.
