Prospective students who would like to major in Psychology at NUS have to meet the pre-requisites for Psychology and obtain a grade of B- or better for the PL1101E module and a grade of B- or better for the PL2131 module. Both PL1101E and PL2131 should be read in NUS. Students who achieved the minimum B- grades for PL1101E and PL2131 but have chosen to exercise the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) option for these two modules will still be eligible to declare Psychology as their major.

From Cohort 2018 onwards (except those who secured their place in NUS before 2018), there will be no placement tests for students who fail to attain the minimum B- grades for PL1101E and PL2131 to major in Psychology. Those (e.g., NSmen) who have secured a place in FASS before the 2018 admission exercise (i.e., not including the 2018 admission exercise) but failed to meet the B- criterion in either PL1101E or PL2131, or both, will have the opportunity to take a department-conducted placement test, the passing of which will act as an alternative prerequisite.

Prospective students who would like to major in Psychology at NUS are recommended to take the Introduction to Psychology module known as PL1101E in the first semester of their academic year. In PL1101E, students are introduced to the core topics in Psychology which comprise Biological, Cognitive, Developmental, Social, and Abnormal Psychology. Students who would like to major in Psychology are also recommended to take the Research and Statistical Methods I module known as PL2131 in the first or second semester of their first academic year.

A brief synopsis of the PL1101E and PL2131 are on our website. Students who have matriculated at NUS can obtain more information about PL1101E and PL2131 through LumiNUS.

The Psychology Department also partners with related disciplines in other Faculties and Departments to offer double-major programmes that broaden the students' scope of training. By pursuing a second major alongside their primary major, students complement the knowledge and skills acquired in psychology with additional training that is relevant to specific sub-fields in psychology (such as biological psychology, counselling psychology, or industrial-organisational psychology), thereby allowing them to be more versatile in the job market.

Currently, FASS offers direct admission to the following structured double-major programmes for suitably qualified FASS students:

• Psychology with Business Management as a 2nd major
• Psychology with Life Sciences as a 2nd major
• Psychology with Communications and New Media as a 2nd major
• Psychology with Economics as a 2nd major
• Psychology with Social Work as a 2nd major
