Hello, I am an international applicant to NUS for their architecture program. Should I apply early to increase my chances of getting accepted? Are the applications rolling?

The three longest established and most influential global rankings are those produced by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), Times Higher Education (THE) and Shanghai Ranking Consultancy (the Academic Ranking of World Universities; ARWU).

Context: am a y1 fass student with no coding experience. Looking at my other options, it seems like COS1000 would be the easiest? But GE1002 looks interesting as well. Just asking for advice from anyone who’s taken any of the Digital Literacy modules thanks!

i was wondering if there is anywhere we can provide feedback w regards to making a more conducive exam environment. i’ve had several bad experiences this and last semester and it has affected my train of thought during exam and affected me pretty badly throughout the paper. this semester i’ve had multiple exams where the venue was shared, and the modules didnt have the same duration? a 1.5hr paper & a 2hr paper was sharing the same venue…. n it would be so distracting for the ppl taking 2hr papers bc imagine all the announcements + collection of papers + students leaving the venue after the 1.5hr paper ends?!?! imagine trying to finish ur paper up the last 30mins & u start hearing loud noises - people chatting & chairs being dragged across the hall wtf. another encounter with bad communication between different modules in the same exam hall was when module1 started without checking that the other modules are ready, and students from the other modules “false” started, and their professor started yelling. yes yelling. hearsay a girl started the paper without checking - the whole hall heard him scream, if it was just one girl he could have just told her to not start yet? and then make an announcement over the mic? why must he shout when module1 has already started? the other module also started 10mins late and made a bunch of announcements so i really couldnt focus the first 15-20mins it was so frustrating. being grown and throwing a tantrum in an exam hall is genuinely so embarassing why arent professors trained to keep quiet in exam halls? this brings me to my next point - invigilators talking to each other during exams. why. is. this. allowed. they generally dont speak loudly but i can still hear them clearly. last semester i was seated in the middle front, right infront of the invigilators table and 2 of them just kept talking……. for about 20minutes…… and stopped when students raised their hands for help and came back and started talking again…… i was so distracted the entire paper and couldnt think straight i ended up failing i just think that this is so frustrating and thought we had the right to a conducive exam environment.

would also really like it if they made more announcements or had some ushers outside mpsh to make sure students who end their exams early dont hang around and talk loudly nearby. i was again so affected by the loud noises outside the exam hall after the earlier papers end. i could even clearly hear this girl having a loud conversation and screaching the whole time i was trying to do my paper. this entire exam week was just such a bad experience and i just hope nobody else would have to experience this again.

TLDR - exam environment isnt conducive due to different durations of exams sharing the same hall, noisy professors, invigilators chatting with each other was wondering if theres anywhere i can raise my concerns to

slightly paranoid here but just wondering if my sep offer could be rescinded if i get a C this semester. i’m due to go on sep next sem, but this sem’s finals got me worried. my pu has a late start date (japan), and the acceptance won’t come until after this sem’s results are released. if i happen to get a C or below for this sem, would NUS prevent me from going on sep even though i’ve already applied?

Hi guys, looking to take a GEC mod next sem as I have an extra slot for a module, can't take the popular GEC1044 unfortunately as its only offered in sem 1.

Was looking at a few modules that I didn't really see anyone talking about and was wondering if they are maybe underrated gems?

• GEC1016/GEH1050: Plants and Society

• GEC1041/GEH1005: Crime Fiction and Film across Space & Time

• GEC1004/GEH1014: Samurai, Geisha, Yakuza as Self or Other

Or if anyone has any other recommendations for other GEC mods, I would greatly appreciate it! I'm looking at modules that are low workload side, and if possible also known to be easy to score, however thats not my focus as I have S/Us to use. Thank you!

Should have policy to add 3 mins per typo or something

Next time if you realise you are under the aircon direct blow can request seat change? Was too in the zone to ask

I’ve applied to NUS for the M.Sc Finance course Aug-Sep 2025 intake. I just wanna know a few things… can someone help??

• Is showing proof of finance mandatory for short listing?
• I’ve got a 10 CGPA in 10th, 92% in 12th, 82% in B.Com honours (first class with distinction), ACCA part qualified (10/13 papers) plus a 4 year experience in a Big 4. Will I really stand a chance in NUS?
• By when will I know if I’m short listed?
• If there’s an interview, what can I expect and what should I prepare for?
• How is the job market after this degree in Singapore?

I really seeking some advice to understand what I should be prepared for. Hoping you guys can help! TIA

If I fail a course on SEP is it possible to omit the course and the U grade from my transcript in NUS? Also will it affect NUS's rep at the partner university in future?

Hi all, i submitted my finals on examplify and wondering if anyone knows a way to access the file that i submitted so i can see what i wrote. Thanks!!

soo CS2106 Finals came back and needless to say I died

After getting UQ for Midterms, I thought I had a decent chance for B+ but NO!

I got Lower Quartile for Finals and am currently 5% below Median ;(((

I would like to ask seniors what's the likely grade?

seniors who’ve graduated, congratulations! i live in awe of your achievements in surviving through these years which i personally find less than stellar.

that being said, i’m a y4 who’s very, very scared for my future - i thoroughly dislike my major and find no desire or interest to work in my field, and must get a job after graduating due to personal reasons (i need money) rather than pursuing a master’s degree.

my grades are not good. i have work experience, but i’m afraid it may not be sufficient for the fields i want to work in.

i need help, or advice, or reassurance. how did you search for jobs if your academics weren’t as strong, and secure your current job or figure out what you wanted to do with your life?

any help is greatly appreciated.

sincerely, a disillusioned junior

As it states, i received an email not long ago about cpf education loan for sem 2. I was wondering if i need to re submit everything as i did with sem 1 because when i click on the link for submission of application, it states that i only need submit one application for the whole duration of the approved institute unless i changed aka change uni or some shit

But when i went in to the e form application, theres an option for ay 24/25 sem 2?? So im confused. Any kind soul willing to enlighten me :( TIA!

as per the title! Particularly keen in IB. I have heard a mixture of answers from my seniors, with some recommending windows as the excels shortcuts differs etc and some programs are only offered on windows whereas others recommend Mac due to its convenience.

keen to know y’all’s opinion!

I just have had significant struggle as an exchanger with my grades and health here so I have been seeking support mentally and academically. I may have misunderstood what exactly I was meant to do but man some of the emails sent to me are SO harsh by this one person in the dean’s office. Like would it hurt to calmly and nicely ask for an elaboration instead of being so harsh and so accusatory of other support units? It’s so genuinely upsetting and rude.

ITE grad here who spent my teen years and early twenties playing games and not taking my studies seriously during secondary school and ITE

Ended up doing a part time poly diploma and having the opportunity to mix with degree holders and seeing how positive, helpful and forward thinking they can be is absolutely a nice change of space compared to the never ending negative complaints and gossips I had to deal with in ITE

Seeing everyone work hard and actually care about their prospects in life is really eye opening for me.

Hey,

sorry if this is a dumb question. I am confused about the differences of the official PDF here and the nusmods website. For Example, CS5228 is not listed at all in the PDF or CS3244 being only listes in semester 2 on the PDF but for 1 and 2 on nusmods. Which one is correct?

Also, a bit of a duplicate question but are CS3243 and CS3244 being replaced by CS2109S, CS3263 and CS3264? Which ones will presumably be available in 2025?

Thank you!

Want to check do anyone know which company actively hire summer intern for mechanical engineers.

Is anyone here planning to accept govtech TAP offer? just curious how’s working in govtech like, specifically under TAP. Heard about the golden handcuffs issue and all. Also heard about their headcount issues which caused some offers to be rescinded last year. Is it recommended to join TAP over companies like shopee?

I have this friend whom i took a mod together with. So he overloaded for that sem, plays games during lectures ,not attend tutorials and he still ended with an A for that mod. While i put in so much effort for that mod, listen to every single lecture and attended every tutorial and only got a B+ in the end. How is this fair?

According to the website: "Students who are not offered direct admission to the 2nd Major / Minor in Management may apply for it no later than during their 4th semester of study, but they need to first complete at least 4 BBA/BAC courses (16 Units) of the Minor in Management requirements". Does this mean I must have completed 16 units of BBA/BAC courses before the start of 4th semester, or could I be completing that condition during the 4th semester as well?
