The SEP provides students with an opportunity to study abroad for a semester or full year without having to incur additional cost of tuition abroad. Students pay their annual fees at NUS but can take their modules in countries such as the USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, China, Hong Kong, etc. You need not learn a new language; all you need to do is take modules that are conducted in English. NUS have established MOUs with many partner universities which are attractive to our Geography students.<\/p>\n

Some universities that our students have attended include University of British Columbia, Lancaster University, Victoria University of Wellington, University College London, University of Melbourne and Hong Kong University. The Department has a department-to-department MOU with Loughborough University which means that spaces have been exclusively set aside for Geography students only. Although Durham University comes under an MOU signed with NUS rather than the department, places have also been set aside for geography students. Here’s the\u00a0list of NUS partner universities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To apply for the SEP, please visit\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n

You are requested to take note of the deadlines. If you are interested in Loughborough University (Sem 1: beginning of October to early February; Sem 2: mid-February to mid-June), read the Loughborough University’s Loughborough University’s Fact Sheet for incoming exchange students 2017\/2018<\/a><\/p>\n

You can apply to do the SEP for either a semester or a whole year. Generally, students are discouraged from going for SEP during their final graduating year. The recommended period for embarking on the SEP is during\u00a0the first or second semester of the Second Year.<\/u>\u00a0Students are also advised that they should set aside sufficient funds to cover accommodation and living expenses. Students should also ensure that they apply and confirm accommodation at the partner University overseas before they leave. If financial resources prove to be a challenge, students can apply for the Office of Alumni Relations (OAR) awards (to any country), and Registrar\u2019s Office SEP Loan. DUO-Singapore Exchange Fellowship (DUO), is also available for European destinations. Students who are on the Ministry of Education Scholarship can approach the MOE for funds to cover airfare and some living expenses. Please verify and check with MOE for details. It is also advisable to go to the NUS Registrar’s Office –\u00a0Student Exchange Programme website<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to learn more about their special programmes, announcements, information, awards etc. for SEP students.<\/p>\n

Students have to submit their mapping applications online. This should only be done AFTER they have been confirmed a placing in the partner university. When selecting the number of modules to take, keep in mind what is needed to graduate. Please also note that:<\/p>\n
