The Joint Degree Programme is a four-year, Honours only, research-based degree in the fields of Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics.
Students accepted into JDP will spend their first three semesters of study at NUS, three semesters at ANU and the remaining two semesters back at NUS.
The course of study in each major is indicated in the tables below. There is significant flexibility and a JDP student can design his/her programme of study in consultation with an assigned Academic Mentor, with approval from the relevant Field Coordinator.

The Honours in Chemistry will be largely (approximately 60%) project work although there will be a coursework component. Honours in Mathematics or Physics will comprise project work (between 40% and 50%) and coursework. Joint Honours project work between NUS and ANU are encouraged in the JDP.
The JDP requires completion of at least 100 modular credits at NUS and 72 units at ANU. Students are expected to maintain a CAP of at least 4.2 at NUS and an average mark of 80 at the ANU. Students who fail to meet the expected CAP or average mark for more than two consecutive semesters will be required to leave the JDP, with borderline cases referred for decision to the JDP Committee.
