BBA students going SEP will need to return to NUS to complete 2 semesters before graduation. Thus, all
students in the 3-year BBA programme will have attend SEP in either semester 1 or 2 of their 2
nd
Year,
while students on the 4-year BBA(H) programme can attend SEP in either Year 2 or 3.
Students would have to complete most of the foundation business administration modules before they
can go on overseas exchange.
Selection is based on academic standing , with priority given to diligent, motivated and mature students
who participate actively in class
Students who are Accounting Specialisation or Double Degree Programmes will have to consult the
Deans Ofce on the pre-requisites and eligibility criteria.
Process of Application
There are two rounds of application each year. Round 1 of applications occur in the November-December
period, where students can apply for SEP in Semester 1 or 2 of the following academic year. Round 2 of the
applications is in February-March, where students can only apply for Semester 2 of the following academic
year. As round 2 of applications would only offer the university slots that have yet to be lled, it would be
prudent to apply in round 1, to have a wider array of choices and secure the university of your choice.
During the application of the SEP, you would need to rank the universities of your choice, with up to 5 choices.
An important thing to note is that the rst choice is very crucial. The ofce takes into consideration the students
rst choice and priority for slots in a university is given to students who placed it as their rst choice. Therefore,
for example a student who placed X University as his/her rst choice would be given the slot, when compared to
another student who placed the same university as second choice, although the latter may have a slightly higher
Cumulative Average Point (CAP).

STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAMME (SEP)
FAQs
The selection for SEP is rst and foremost your grades. The grades taken into consideration would be your CAP
at the end of the rst semester of your application. Thus, if you are applying for SEP in your 2
nd
year, you would
want to score well for your very rst semester. Typically around half the cohort will go for SEP.
Other than grades, as stated above, the ofce takes into consideration students rst choice. With different
universities and countries varying in popularity, it is crucial not to waste your rst choice with universities that are
unreasonably beyond your CAP. It would be highly recommended to take the time to nd out which are the
more popular universities and universities in which students with higher CAP are applying to.
NUS Business School has over 120 partner universities and schools. The full list can be found on the NUS BBA
website (http://bba.nus.edu/exchange_partnerunis.html).
The important question to ask would be your motive for going for SEP. Students motives may vary from different
cultural experiences, a way to travel around for a few months or chance to live in a country of our dream.
Finding out these motives would help in shortlisting the countries and subsequently the universities. Another thing
to look at would be the total cost of the SEP and its affordability, as SEP in different countries would invariably
result in different cost due to cost of living, accommodations, etc.
It is also important to take into account the modules available in the partner university that can be mapped (i.e.
counted as a similar module in NUS) back to your BBA programme. A Module Master List, which shows
tentative modules available at the different partner universities, that can be mapped back, is available online
(http://bba.nus.edu/exchange_application.html). However, note that this list is based on past experiences and
the partner universities change the modules offered occasionally.
Only the students credits will be transferred back to NUS, which means that NUS only needs to know whether
students have passed or failed in their modules taken at the partner university. Therefore, as long as you pass
the modules taken during SEP, it will be counted as completion of your modules, but the grades will not affect
your CAP.
You will not need to pay for the tuition fee of the partner university, but will have to remain paying for the tuition
fee in NUS. As for other costs associated with the SEP, it would depend greatly on the country where you are
heading as you would have to take into account traveling cost, accommodation, daily essentials, exchange
rates. Most partner universities would present a estimated cost for incoming exchange students on their websites.
Finance aid and scholarships are also available. Do check out the International Relations Ofces website for
list of loans, awards and scholarships available and their criteria (http://www.nus.edu.sg/iro/nus/students/
awards/index.html).
