Launch of Engineering Scholars Programme
79%

The Global Engineering Programme was first launched 10 years ago. A decade on and in tandem with the continuously evolving educational and engineering landscape, NUS Engineering had revamped and launched a more robust Engineering Scholars (E-Scholars) programme in 2019.
Targeted at students with high levels of academic performance, the E-Scholars programme aims to nurture well-rounded individuals with skills that go beyond academic results. Featuring a four-year accelerated pathway comprising a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree, the E-Scholars programme offers an educational experience that brings together NUS’ best educational programmes.
For example, the inclusion of the NUS Overseas College (NOC) Programme as part of the E-Scholars programme ensures that students gain industrial exposure through internships at technology start-ups. At the same time, opportunities to learn modules that are tailored to aspirations as well as living and learning in the NUS University Town enrich students’ learning experiences. Availability and accessibility to a strong team of academic mentors also support students’ growth throughout their studies.

• Massachusetts Institute of
Technology • University of Cambridge • Imperial College London • University of Oxford • Carnegie Mellon University • Stanford University
