Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits for SHARP students who are enrolled in CDP?

SHARP students who are selected for CDP will be awarded tuition fee waiver in Terms 9 and 10. The tuition fee waiver is valued at the applicable postgraduate tuition fees* for Singapore Citizens.

 

*Based on tuition fees for new full-time students during the Admission Year. Tuition fees are pegged to the prevailing fees for postgraduate programmes offered by SUTD.

Students in SHARP will have already fulfilled more than half of the requirements for an MEng from SUTD, provided they choose a cross-listed undergraduate and graduate course in Term 7 or 8.

Selected students will be enrolled as BEng students from Terms 1 to 6, and continue as concurrent BEng and MEng students from Term 7 to 10.
What are the selection criteria for Concurrent BEng-MEng Degree Pathway (CDP)?
The Concurrent BEng-MEng Degree Pathway (CDP) will be offered to outstanding SHARP students who meet the requirements to remain in SHARP after 5 terms and have shown strong aptitude for publishable research work. Students must maintain a minimum cGPA of 3.5 and above, and good research progress. Only selected SHARP students in CSD, EPD and ESD are eligible for application to CDP.
How will the transcript for SHARP students differ from the others?
The transcript of the SHARP students will indicate each Honours Session that the student has passed, plus the positive completion of each SHARP-UROP project and of the Thesis Defense.
