DUO-Singapore Exchange Fellowship Award

Posted on by

<< On Behalf of International Relations Office>>

Dear NUS students,

The DUO-Singapore Exchange Fellowship Award by Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs aims to promote student exchanges between NUS and European ASEM members. The Award, based on merit, funds up to three pairs of students exchanges (3 incoming and 3 outgoing) between NUS and its respective partner university in Europe in any academic field. Each student will be awarded 4,000 Euros, which will partially subsidise the cost of airfare, accommodation and living expenses for SEP. Please also note that due to the nature of this award, if any student from a pair of awardees chooses to withdraw or does not complete the exchange programme, both awardees from the pair will automatically be ineligible for the award and their DUO Awards will be retracted.

 

Applications for AY 2016/2017 are now open!

 

Criteria

NUS students with the following criteria are eligible to apply:

  • Are Singapore or ASEAN citizens
  • Have been nominated for SEP to an NUS partner university in a European ASEM member country (Refer here for the list of ASEM member countries which NUS has SEP partnership with)
  • Participating in SEP in Sem 1 and/or Sem 2 of AY2016/2017

 

Application Process

Posted on by

This message broadcast is on behalf of NUS USP Office.

Call for Applications: NUS-in-Yale Summer Programme

Programme Dates

30 May – 1 July 2016

Description

The programme is a 5-week study stint at Yale University during its Summer Session A.

Selected NUS students will study and interact with Yale students, stay at Yale residential colleges and experience various aspects of Yale undergraduate life. Students will select two modules in the humanities and social sciences.

More details on the Yale Summer Session are available at http://summer.yale.edu (note that NUS-in-Yale refers to Yale Summer Session A only).

ELIGIBILITY:

This programme is open to Year 1 and 2 students of USP and USP partner faculties (BIZ, FASS, FOE, FOS, SDE, SOC and LAW), with a minimum CAP of 3.5 (Law students can disregard the CAP stipulation, since the Law faculty is not on the modular system).

Priority will be given to Year 2 students.

For selected USP students, substitution credit can be given for one inquiry tier USP module. The two modules taken at Yale may substitute for major/faculty requirements upon approval by the department or faculty; approval may be sought through the usual procedure for SEP module substitution. USP students are encouraged to further develop what they have learned in these programmes through supervised independent study.

For selected non-USP students, approval from home faculty or department should be sought for module substitution/mapping.

Cost

NUS provides a substantial student grant to cover the programme fees. Each student selected for this programme will:

  • Co-pay a sum of SGD 2,500; plus
  • Purchase and arrange his/her own return air ticket and visa.

As this programmes is already heavily subsidised, there will be no further NASA funding.

USP will advise on travel dates.

Application

Please apply HERE along with submission of the following:

  • A one-page Curriculum Vitae (name it as  ‘CV_YourName’)
  • An original essayof max 800 words (Name it as ‘Yale_YourName’). In this essay, describe a research problem in the humanities and/or social sciences. Explain in some detail why you think this problem makes for a good research topic, and briefly tell us how you might go about solving this problem.

As with all USP International Programmes, students need a minimum CAP of 3.5 to apply.

For Year 1 students with no CAP, please leave the CAP field blank.

Closing date: Tuesday 9 February

Shortlisted candidates will be required to attend an interview.

We look forward to receiving your application.
