NOC Curriculum Structure

The NOC programme is designed to be academically neutral, which means a participating student can possibly earn equivalent number of Units for a semester, as per a non-NOC student. There are 3 durations of the NOC programme: 12-month (2 regular NUS semesters, awarding up to 40 units), 6-month (1 regular NUS semester, awarding up to 20 units (except for NOC Singapore before AY2024/25 Semester 1 intake that awards up to 26 units), 3-month (NUS special term 1&2, awarding up to 6 units).

Broadly, the NOC programme consists of 3 parts:

  1. Internship Courses: up to 32 Units (depending on the duration of the NOC programme)
  2. Entrepreneurship Courses: Up to 8 Units (depending on college)
  3. ETP2271 Discovering Resilience and Purpose course: 2 Units (for NOC 6-month and 12-month programme only) - until NOC AY25/26 Sem 1 (Aug 2025) Intake

Download a copy of suggested / sample academic roadmap for planning or for reference. Students typically join NOC programme in their 5th &/or 6th or 6th &/or 7th semester. Refer to the respective tabs for the individual college curriculum.

A carefully thought-out roadmap serves to provide students with succinct clarity on how their NOC participation can be built into their remaining candidature in NUS. The roadmap will be highly useful in helping students to assess the need for an extension of candidature. All selected NOC students are required to spend at least one regular semester in NUS upon their return from the programme.

Internship Courses
Internship is the focal area of NOC curriculum structure. The 16 Units obtained under internship can be used to fulfil any of the 2 types of degree requirements: Program Requirements or Unrestricted Elective (UE) Courses. The faculty/school/department has sole discretion, subject to any University requirements, in approving the use of the 16 Units, in whole or in part, to fulfil these requirements.

College of Design and Engineering (CDE) / School of Computing (SoC) students who are undertaking NOC internships that are relevant to their discipline or major; involving intensive work (e.g. technical design, research, development, experimentation, etc) as well as analysing the viability of the product, idea or service, may use TR3202 / ETP3202L to fulfil Industrial Attachment. Students are to check with their faculty/ department for updated mapping approval.

Entrepreneurship Courses
Complementing the internship are entrepreneurship courses designed to equip students with the requisite knowledge and skills for their internship work. NOC students will take up the compulsory entrepreneurship courses, unless preclusions apply.

Minimum Grade Requirement

  • All courses, be it offered by partner university or NUS mounted courses, must be taken on a graded basis. Courses offered by the partner university will be based on their grading scale.
  • For non - grade transfer courses / i.e. Overseas Credit Transfer (OCT) basis:
    • A minimum "C" grade must be obtained for all courses before any Units will be awarded by NUS. Other conditions apply.
    • Students who fail to obtain the minimum grade requirements will be subjected to NOC Disciplinary Committee’s and penalty such as monetary may be imposed.
    • These courses do not affect the student’s S/U quota as courses are taken on OCT basis and are not in the same category as courses taken on S/U.
    • These courses do not contribute to the student’s GPA.
    • There is a limit to the number of Units that can be excluded from the computation of GPA. Please refer to the Office of the University Registrar’s website for more information.
  • For grade transfer courses (Letter graded):
    • Students who fail to obtain the minimum "C" grade will be subjected to NOC Disciplinary Committee’s review and penalty such as monetary may be imposed. Other conditions apply.
    • The grade of these courses will contribute to the student’s GPA and is subjected to NUS prevailing graduation requirements.
  • For grade transfer courses (CS/CU):
