Singapore Universities Students Exchange Programme The Singapore Universitites Students Exchange Programme (SUSEP) offers NTU students the opportunity to study a few courses or even one semester in NUS and SMU, made possible through a tripartite agreement with NUS and SMU. Through this programme, students at the 3 institutions are able to study and experience student’s life at a host institution while pursuing their degrees in their university. In NTU, SUSEP is administered by the Office of Academic Services, and supported by the Schools.

GSS is a “study-n-play” programme that gives NTU undergraduates a dual opportunity to travel overseas during their summer break (May-July) for about four to six weeks and at the same time earn academic credits. The programme encourages students to take opportunity of their summer break to join an overseas university to participate in programmes that could be related to academic coursework (A), cultural immersion (C) or language instruction (L). Unlike INSTEP or GIP, GSS is open to all undergraduate students regardless of their year of study. So, if you are in your first year or final year and would like to use your summer break gainfully, GSS might be just the programme for you. Summer studies are being held at selected partner universities around Asia, Europe and Americas. Some of the benefits of GSS include:

The unforgettable lessons gained through laughter and tears will stand me in good stead in all future endeavors.”
Global Discovery Programme is a four week study and visit programme that aims to provide participants with a broad understanding of emerging economies such as Vietnam, India and the Middle East as a potential career options. Rather than simply presenting and discussing business related issues within the confines of a classroom the program encourages students to make their own evaluation through field trips and networking sessions with local representatives of business houses, management boards and investment firms. Opportunities are created to engage both faculty members and local students in discussions on the several aspects of doing business in these markets. By the end of the programme students will have gained a sweeping review of the historical evolution of the country/region, its political and administrative system and the economic transformation that is now taking place in each of these places - not to mention the excursions and visits to the many fascinating places of interests.
