Immigration & Insurance

Strict border control measures are likely to remain in effect for the coming months and could impact exchange in AY2021/22 Sem 2. NUS is keeping a close eye on the latest advice from immigration authorities and any possible impact on students’ ability to secure a Student’s Pass (Visa) and Entry Approval (EA). In the event border control measures prevent students from entering Singapore, we will let partners know as soon as possible. Given the uncertainties associated with international travel, we ask nominated students not to make travel or housing arrangements for their exchange until they receive their acceptance letters (emails) from NUS in mid-November 2021.

Exchange students are covered under the NUS Medical Insurance Scheme. For more info regarding COVID-related coverage, please click here.

Students are strongly encouraged to purchase supplemental travel insurance to ensure they are adequately covered during their time abroad.

Available Modules (Courses)

For the latest list of modules open to exchange students, please click here. Modules for AY2021/22 Semester 2 will be posted in late-August 2021 to coincide with the Spring 2022 exchange cycle commencing on 1 Sep 2021.

Course restrictions can be found here.

NUS Timetable Builder, which includes course descriptions, can be found here: https://nusmods.com/timetable/sem-2

Please note some lectures (with 50+ students) could be conducted online in Semester 2. Such lectures will be noted as “E-learning” in the NUS Timetable Builder. Tutorials will likely remain in-person if they have less than 50 students (based on the latest COVID-19 mitigation measures).

We anticipate a number of deferrals from 2020/21 thus higher than usual demand for modules. Students are encouraged to be very flexible with their course requirements and to have plenty of back-up options in the event of oversubscribed modules or timetable clashes.

On-campus Housing

Students will apply for housing after they have been accepted into the programme. More information on how and when to apply for housing will be included in acceptance letters (released in mid-November 2021).

In order to abide by social distancing measures, our residences will most likely not be able to operate at full capacity in Semester 2. Students should research off-campus housing options to be safe.

Based on the latest border control measures, students may need to self-isolate for up to 14 days upon arrival in Singapore. Student should take this into account when making travel and housing plans. More information regarding arrival procedures will be included in acceptance letters.

*Students are strongly recommended not to make any travel or housing bookings for their exchange until they have received their acceptance letters from NUS and know the latest travel advice.*
