Please note that any modules taken to meet the requirements of one degree cannot be used tocount towards another degree.

NUS B.Eng. or B.Tech. graduates may apply for a transfer of credits of their approvedpre-taken* graduate modules taken during their undergraduate studies for their current M.Sc.studies in NUS.

Modules pre-taken should be taken less than 5 years prior to admission of their M.Sc. degreeand are not counted toward their Bachelor’s degree. Upon approval, the pre-taken modulesand grades will be transferred and included in the CAP computation of their current M.Sc.programme. All applications for transfer of credits must be submitted to GSE within the 1stmonth of their new M.Sc. candidature.

*Pre-taken graduate modules must be as indicated in the transcripts of academic records for their Bachelor’s degree (i.e. B.Eng. or B.Tech.).

For each M.Sc. module read by a M.Sc. student who is a member of the ProfessionalEngineers Board Singapore (PEB), 39 Professional Units (PDU) may be awarded under theProfessional Engineers Board Singapore's Continuing Professional Development Programme

(CPD).

Information on available modules for each semester and class time-table will be issued by

the DEPARTMENTS to candidates who are successful in gaining admission to the courses.Successful candidates should be informed of this information about two weeks before the

TOEFL andIELTS Tests

The quantity and quality of academic work at NUS cannot be accomplished without the masteryof the English language. The point is deliberately emphasized because graduate students atNUS submit assessments, take written examinations and are expected to participate actively inthe classroom discussions. Applicants who graduated from Universities where English is notthe main medium of instruction (e.g. China, Myanmar, Indonesia, etc) are required todemonstrate their English proficiency by means of TOEFL* / IELTS** test scores.

*TOEFL is the abbreviation of the Test of English as a Foreign Language.

** IELTS is the abbreviation of the International English Language Testing System.

Applicants can either:(a) submit photocopies of their TOEFL/ IELTS scoresheets; or(b) request Educational Testing Services (ETS) to send original TOEFL scores to NUS.

(Institution code of NUS for TOEFL is 9084).

MASTER OF SCIENCE (ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING)

Overview

The Master of Science in Environmental Engineering programme is targeted at graduates who are either working, or

considering a career, in environmental engineering, and wish to be part of the global effort to incorporate environmentalconsiderations in all human activities. The curriculum is sufficiently flexible to accommodate students from science and

technology backgrounds as well as provide practicing engineers an opportunity to enhance their technical competence.This programme is also suitable for graduates who wish to build on their prior educational background and professionalexperience in the field of environmental science and technology, and to acquire new skills for solving advancedenvironmental engineering problems, thus enabling them to contribute in greater measure to Singapore’s push to developits environmental technology industry. The programme will prepare students to contribute to the environmental protectionefforts spearheaded by the countries in the region. In addition, this broad-based educational programme would be of relevant interest to professionals in the government’s regulatory and statutory bodies, as well as in institutes of higher

learning.

The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Environmental Engineering is structured around lectures, continual assessments andend-of-semester examinations. Candidates may opt for part time or full-time study.

Part-time students will normally read 2 graduate modules equivalent to 8 MCs per semester and attend lectures twoevenings per week. Full-time students will normally read 3 graduate modules equivalent to 12 MCs per semester andattend lectures three evenings per week.

A candidate needs to complete a program of study consisting of 1 core module and at least 9 elective or other approvedmodules.
