Full-time Undergraduate Degree Programmes
SUSS offers full-time undergraduate programmes that lead to a direct honours degree.
Each course in a degree programme is assigned credit units (cu). Most courses are worth 5 cu, while a handful are worth 2.5 cu or 10 cu. Students are required to complete a total of 200 cu (inclusive of 60 cu of SUSS Core courses) to graduate with an honours degree.
Full-time undergraduates typically complete their programme in 4 years. The maximum candidature period for full-time undergraduates is 6 years.
There are 2 regular semesters and 1 special semester in a year:
- January semester: from January to April
- July semester: from August to November
- Special semester: from May to June
A typical 5 cu course has 18 contact hours, comprising 6 weeks of 3-hour classes. For selected courses, this can go up to 24 contact hours, comprising 8 weeks of 3-hour classes. Most courses are conducted in the regular semesters with classes spread across 12 weeks.
The special semester is set aside for internships, work attachments, overseas trips, short courses (e.g., 2.5 cu courses), and courses that are conducted in a compressed format.
