As NUS is dealing with capacity problems for their courses, students need to be highly flexible with their module choices and to prepare for some back-up modules in the event of oversubscription or timetable clashes.

• Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences
• Faculty of Engineering
• School of Computing
• Faculty of Law: Limited courses and highly oversubscribed. Only 1 student from UU can take LAW courses per year. Students applying for Law courses must be majoring in Law respectively at their home university.
  Please note that students are not guaranteed a place in the courses. Pure Law major students can expect to take three to four Law modules per semester. However, students should only take sufficient credits, not in excess, as required by their home university. 
• School of Design & Environment
• Faculty of Science

Students interested or studying in Urban Studies and Environmental Studies are encouraged to apply for this exchange programme with NUS.
