Student Exchange Programme (SEP)
• • • • • To be eligible for the Student Exchange Programme (SEP), you must have completed at least 2 semesters of study; CAP ≥ 3.0; sufficient financial means to cover the necessary expenses for the duration of the SEP (ranging from S$5,000 to S$15,000 per semester). When applying for your student visa, a number of countries may demand documentary proof of your financial status; satisfy host institution and host country entry requirements; not apply for SEP to your home country (i.e. if you a Chinese national, you are not permitted to apply for SEP to China, Taiwan and Hong Kong ) Students in their final year of degree are not eligible for overseas SEP.
Our exchange agreements with partner institutions usually specify a certain number of places which will be available to NUS students. These numbers vary for each institution. If there are too many applicants for one institution, students are selected according to academic merit, rankings of universities by students, restrictions from the partner universities as well as the eligibility of the students. When approving a student’s application for exchange, consideration is also given to his/her ability to be a good ambassador for NUS.
Application
Applications are to be submitted through OPAS ( https://aces01.nus.edu.sg/VOPSEP/Login ).
