The Honours in Chemistry will be largely (approximately 60%) project work although there will be a coursework component. Honours in Mathematics or Physics will comprise project work (between 40% and 50%) and coursework.

Joint Honours project work between NUS and ANU are encouraged in the JDP.

Grading and Degree Requirements

The JDP requires completion of at least 100 Modular Credits at NUS and 72 units at ANU. Students are expected to maintain a CAP of at least 4.2 at NUS and an average mark of 80 at the ANU. Students who fail to meet the expected CAP or average mark for more than two consecutive semesters will be required to leave the JDP, with borderline cases referred for decision to the JDP Committee.

Students in the Scholars Programme must also fulfill one Singapore Studies (SS) requirement during his/her duration in the Programme.

Exiting the Programme

Students can choose to leave the Programme, or be asked to leave if they fail to meet and maintain requirements.

Students who choose to leave the JDP are permitted to work instead for a single degree in their primary institution of enrolment and faculty. Modular Credits completed during the duration of the JDP are counted towards the fulfilment of requirements degree at their home faculty, subject to the normal limits of the faculty curriculum.

8.2 Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from National University of Singapore and Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) from Australian National University

Overview of Programme

The University Scholars Programme (USP) and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) offer a four-year Joint Degree Programme (JDP) between Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from NUS and Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) from ANU, which can be taken in four fields of study: English Literature, History, Philosophy, and Theatre Studies. It is only offered to FASS students in USP.

The joint degree programme places a strong emphasis on independent, disciplinary enquiry, which will prepare students for possible future research. In addition, it will provide a greater range of offerings than either university could alone.

Students will enjoy the benefit of complementary modules and faculty from the two universities.

If your institution of primary enrolment is NUS, you will spend the first three semesters here at NUS, followed by three semesters at ANU in Canberra before returning for your final two semesters.

Upon successful completion of the JDP’s requirements, students graduate with a degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with the field of study recorded. The degree carries the crests of both universities and certifies the completion of Joint Degree Programme for Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) from ANU and Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from NUS.

Admission Requirements

The JDP is restricted to six students from each institution annually.

The JDP is only offered to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences students in USP. Application opens in

September/October and those who have indicated their interest in the programme (during February-April) will be notified.

Applicants will be required to attend an interview. Successful applicants will be admitted provisionally into the JDP.

Final selection of JDP students will be made at the end of their third semester of study, based on academic performance in the first three semesters of study (CAP of at least 4.2) and other relevant qualifications.

Programme Requirements Programme Structure

The curriculum structure is based upon an amalgamation of the broad-based NUS FASS/USP curriculum and the enquiry-intensive ANU Ph.B. curriculum. It follows that of the existing ANU/FOS joint B.Sc. (Hons.)/Ph.B. (Hons.). The distribution of modules is as follows:

Major USP Electives Faculty Requirements Second Major

NUS Modular Credits

NUS 102 24 22 12 0

ANU 97 16 15 0 32

ANU Credits

NUS 122.4 28.8 26.4 14.4 0

ANU 116.4 19.2 18 0 38.4

The NUS 102 MC's Major is made up of 52 to 55 MC of taught modules, 15 MC Honours Thesis (‘HT’), 12 to 15 MC Independent Study Modules (‘ISM’), and 20 MC ANU Advanced Studies courses. 47-50 MC's come from either ISM, HT, or ANU Advanced Studies courses.

The ANU 97 MC Major is made up of 30 MC of taught modules, 40 MC of Honours modules, a 12 MC of ISM and 15 MC of Advanced Studies courses. 80% of the Honours year is based on a thesis. Thus 32 MC of thesis, plus 15 MC of Advanced Studies courses, plus 12 MC of ISM, mean that 59 MC (or 60%) of the Major concentrates on independent enquiry.

NUS students must fulfill the following requirements:

The USP modules count towards the 8 MC of electives outside of the FASS, and 8 MC of General Education Modules. These satisfy 16 MC of the University Level Requirements (‘ULR’).

NUS students must also complete 12 MC of FASS faculty exposure requirements, that is, one exposure module (4 MC) each from the Faculty's three divisions: Asian Studies, Humanities and Social Sciences. The requirement ensures that students have a broad, working knowledge of disciplines close to their own. (ANU students are exempted from the ULR and faculty exposure requirements, because of their need to complete a second major.) NUS rules for each Major about numbers of Level-2000 and Level-3000 (or equivalent) modules also apply.

Of the Major modules for NUS students, at least 40 MC (48 units) must be at Level-4000 (or equivalent).

All NUS students must complete an HT, which will earn the usual number of MC for an HT in that Major.

The Vice Dean (Undergraduate), upon advice from the JDP Committee and with the agreement of the relevant department, can approve variations to the above pattern where appropriate.
