    Foundation Courses

    The The Foundation Courses are short refresher courses, specially designed to strengthen the foundation of students in mathematics and basic engineering topics so that they will be better able to cope with the B.Tech Programme if they are admitted and have better chances of doing well in their courses. These courses are conducted by Professional Activities Centre (PAC) in the Faculty of Engineering at NUS. The courses which are available are Mathematics, Electronics Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Mathematics is suitable for any B.Tech course applied for while the discipline-based courses are specific only to the B.Tech course applied for, for example Chemical Engineering for the B.Tech (Chemical) course. These courses are optional and attendance is not required for admission to the B.Tech Programme. It is entirely up to each individual if he/she wishes to attend. The courses are opened to PUBLIC, however, due to limited seats; priority is given to current and prospective B.Tech Students.

    Due to limited seats, the registration is on first come first served basis. Registration is now open.

    The fees are $400 for any one foundation course and $750 for two courses (Price inclusive of GST and a non-refundable administrative fee of SGD20.00).
