A student in the Scholars Programme must read
and pass:
- Eight First-tier Modules worth 32 MCs
- Four Advanced Modules worth 16 MCs
First-tier Modules
Students in the Scholars Programme are defined either as:
- Arts-based students (defined as a student graduating
from the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences or School of Business);
or
- Science-based students (defined as a student graduating
from the Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science or School of Computing)
- Students from the School of Design and Environment may choose
to be one or the other.
Students should observe the following First-Tier Module Domain distribution
requirements:

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:

one Singapore Studies requirement during his/her duration in the
Programme. This requirement may be satisfied by a choice of modules
designated as fulfilling the Singapore Studies requirement in the
First-Tier or Advanced Modules curriculum. You may refer here
