Part-time Undergraduate Degree Programmes
SUSS offers part-time undergraduate programmes that lead to a basic degree or an honours degree.
Each course in a degree programme is assigned credit units (cu). Most courses are worth 5 cu, while a handful are worth 2.5cu or 10 cu. Students are required to complete a total of 130 cu (inclusive of 20 cu of SUSS Core courses) to graduate with a basic degree or a total of 170 cu (inclusive of 30 cu of SUSS Core courses) to graduate with an honours degree.
Part-time undergraduates typically complete their programme in 3 or more years. The maximum candidature period for part-time undergraduate is 8 years.
Students pursuing a career as pilot can enrol in the SUSS-Singapore Flying College (SFC) Integrated Pathway programme (IPP), where they may graduate with a basic degree from SUSS and obtain the Commercial Pilot License (CPL) concurrently in 4 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

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, short courses (e.g., 2.5 cu courses), and courses that are conducted in a compressed format.
