Q: How do I register for the Minor?
A: You can either declare your intention to do the minor when you take your first course from the GIS Minor basket, or pass all six (or five, depending on your cohort) course required and then declare the minor. Students who have already taken courses within the Minor (e.g., CS1010, GE2215) are eligible for the Minor too.

Q: Do I need to do the core course first before taking any elective courses ?
A: Not necessary. You may read the Essential GIS course before, after, or in the process of taking elective courses.

Q: I came from Polytechnic and was awarded with a few exemptions (CS1010, CS2102) from NUS. Can I use my exemptions to fulfill the “Elective Area” requirements of the GIS Minor?
A: You will be able to use the exempted courses from Polytechnic to fulfill your “Elective Area” requirements of the GIS Minor only if you are a Geography Major.

Q: Can I read one or two GIS courses but not take the Minor?
A: Yes, the GIS courses offered by the Geography Department (e.g., GE2215, GE2227, GE3216 GE3238, GE3252) are not just for students enrolled in the GIS Minor. They are especially useful for geography majors and NUS undergraduate students interested in using GIS and working with spatial data.

Q: How many courses can I double count for both my Major and Minor?
A: Based on university’s requirements, you can use up to 8 MCs to count towards your Major and Minor programme.

Q: If I am a Geography Major and the Minor requirement for my cohort is 24 MCs, can I double count GE2101 and GE3216?
A: No. But you can double count two of the three essential GIS courses (i.e., GE2215, GE2227 and GE3238).

Q: Can I take GET1030 as my GE course and have it double-counted as one of the elective courses for the GIS Minor?
A: No, you will need to take another GET course to fulfil the GE course requirements if you wish to use GET1030 for the GIS Minor. Please note that the newer cohorts have different general education requirements.

Q: If I am a non-Geography Major, can I take the GE courses (ie. GE2215, GE2227, GE3252, GE3238, GE2101 and GE3216) to fulfill my Breadth Requirements (Unrestricted electives outside major) and have them counted towards the GIS Minor?
A: Yes, you can do that. You can also take other GIS courses outside your major and have them counted as your Breadth (if applicable) and the GIS Minor.

Q: If I am from the School of Computing, can I double count the CS courses in the Minor?
A: Yes you may, but please also check with your department and SoC as there may be other requirements or restrictions.

Q: If I go on overseas exchange, can I transfer relevant courses for the minor?
A: Yes. For students on overseas exchange, credit transfer of up to 8 MC of relevant courses for the minor may be accepted.

Along with a solid foundation in GIS related coursework, an internship allows you to further develop strong GIS skills. You will apply what you have learnt in class to the real world issues. Besides, an internship is an excellent way to be exposed to prospective employers! After the launch of the GIS Minor Programme in August 2006, the Department has been discussing with various companies for internship opportunities.

During the long university vacation, students who finished three essential GIS courses are already doing their interns with the Deloitte Petroleum Services, the Petroleum Geo-Services Asia-Pacific, and the DHI Water & Environment on various environmental projects. The Department also launched a new courses GE3550A GIS Internship Course in AY2007/08.

Urban Studies

Jointly Offered By Department of Geography (FASS) and Department of Real Estate (NUS Business School)

It is estimated that the world’s urban population recently surpassed 50% of the total population. Asia remains less than 50% urbanised but is one of the most rapidly urbanising regions on Earth. International linkages between urban management professionals of various kinds are also increasing and Singapore is seen as a leader in many aspects of urban management, policy and planning. For these and other reasons, opportunities for urban professionals are likely to continue to increase.

This is an Open Minor.

Students will be offered the chance to develop expertise and skills in urban studies that would be an asset not only for those already majoring in an urban-related area, but also for the many others from various faculties who have an interest in urban-related careers. Students will get the opportunity to make explicit to employers their special strengths in this area.

Students will be provided with a good balance of breadth of knowledge, practical skills, and theoretical depth in a range of urban-related fields. The minor is not conceived as an introduction to any major in urban studies or such like. Instead, it is to be seen purely as a minor which can enhance the degrees and employability of students taking a wide variety of existing majors.

Env Sustainability

A Minor programme offered by the Department of Biological Sciences

Urgent actions to tackle environmental issues are increasingly global as well as Singapore’s national agenda, and the transition to a Green Economy has created a high demand for green skills.

Two key challenges in the current undergraduate curriculum to address those needs are:

  • Building multi-disciplinary capabilities with depth as well as breadth
  • Bridging theoretical knowledge to the fast-changing needs of the sustainability field

This Minor Programme in Environmental Sustainability is an Open Minor.

Environmental sustainability issues are multi-disciplinary, requiring a foundation in ecology for the management of natural resources and waste impacts on natural systems, along with skillsets and knowledge spanning other natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, finance, business, etc. for addressing sustainability issues. This Minor programme aims to fill a gap in the NUS undergraduate curriculum for sustainability knowledge and skillsets that bridge disciplinary domains.

Students are to ensure the pre-requisites are met when planning to read the courses meant for the Minor requirements.
