Yes, NUS College of Humanities and Sciences (CHS) students can apply to do a double degree.

This programme is designed to enable students to complete the requirements for both degrees in a shorter period than it would take to complete them separately.<\/p>\n

CHS students have the option to pursue specially designed double degree programmes or initiate their own combinations, provided they meet the necessary criteria and obtain approval from the relevant Faculties\/Schools. The application process typically involves maintaining a minimum GPA and completing a specified number of units before applying.
