Undergraduate SUTD Technology and Entrepreneurship Programme (USTEP)

Application

Admission criteria

Application is open to all who meet the following criteria:

• Have good academic performance
• Demonstrated strong communication skills and leadership potential
• Entrepreneurial mindset with qualities such as innovation, dynamism, resilience, risk-taking and responsiveness

How to apply

In the online application to SUTD, applicants should indicate your interest in USTEP and complete two short-response questions about your motivation, entrepreneurial experience, and interest in the programme.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to have a conversation with SUTD faculty/leader regarding your application to the university and USTEP. Prior to the session, candidates will have 30 minutes to prepare a pitch based on a list of given topics. You will then present your pitch during the conversation.

Applicants who are not shortlisted for USTEP will still be considered for the SUTD undergraduate (single degree) programme, and/or another special programme as indicated in your application.

Those interested in USTEP NOC pathway are to note that application and selection for this pathway will take place in Term 3. Students should also note that additional fees for the NOC placement will apply, on top of the normal SUTD undergraduate programme fees.

Scholarships and awards

Qualified applicants who meet the prevailing scholarship criteria may be considered for a scholarship. In addition, all eligible USTEP students will receive the USTEP Award, valued at S$5,000, to help cover expenses for approved overseas programmes. This award is contingent upon meeting the programme’s eligibility and selection criteria, and will be granted once these criteria are successfully fulfilled.
