First-tier Modules
Students should observe the following First-Tier
Module Domain distribution requirements:

Module requirement
for
Arts-based students
|
| Writing and Critical Thinking |

| Singapore Studies themed module requirement |
1 |
| Humanities/Social Sciences |
3 |
| Sciences/Technologies |

| Total |
8 modules |
The Domain distribution requirements outlined in the table above are to ensure that, at the First-Tier level, students are exposed to the main domains of knowledge: Humanities/Social Sciences and Sciences/Technologies. In particular, these requirements reflect the Programme's objective of ensuring a balanced and broad-based, interdisciplinary education for our students. Arts-based students must thus read science modules, and vice-versa. Students should also note that they should read a Writing and Critical Thinking module during their first or second semester of enrollment in the Scholars Programme. For information regarding the Singapore Studies requirement in the Scholars Programme, please refer to the relevant section below.

Advanced Modules
Students in the Scholars Programme will also be
required to read four Advanced Modules.
For cohorts matriculated in 2002 and before, they will observe the requirements of two Course-Based Modules (CBMs) and two Independent Study Modules (ISMs). For cohorts matriculated in 2003 and onwards, they are accorded more flexibility to vary the number of CBMs and ISMs for fulfilling their Advanced modules requirements as a coherent package of study, although they will need to read at least one ISM to complete the package.

Modules, please refer to the following links:
