Introduction

Student Exchange Programme between University Scholars Programme (National University of Singapore) and Yuanpei Programme (Peking University)

NUS and the Peking University (PKU) signed an exchange agreement on 30 June 2005, which provides opportunities for up to ten students of NUS’ University Scholars Programme and PKU’s Yuanpei Programme students to study for a year at the respective partner institution per year.

The Yuanpei Programme is PKU’s top undergraduate programme that selects the crème-de-la-crème out of the eight million graduating senior high school students in China. Last year, the Yuanpei Programme attracted the top scorers (zhuangyuan) of ten provinces in China.

The University Scholars Programme (USP) is NUS’ talent programme. It is specially designed to stretch the intellectual, leadership and personal capacities of some of the brightest and most highly motivated undergraduates of NUS.

Designed as one of the options through which students could curriculum, the USP - PKU Yuanpei Cultural Immersion Programme aims to equip a group of future leaders of Singapore with strong cultural capabilities. During their one-year stay in PKU, USP students will read modules on Chinese history, culture, society and economy, and will also benefit from extended interactions with the top minds and future leaders of China, and experience global competition at its keenest. For USP students matriculating in 2011 and before, the USP - PKU Yuanpei Cultural Immersion Programme fulfils the Advanced Curriculum. USP students matriculating in 2012 and after who take the the USP - PKU Yuanpei Cultural Immersion Programme are deemed to have taken four Inquiry tier modules, two in the Humanities and Social Sciences domain and two in the Sciences and Technologies domain.

Upon successful completion of the duration of study, the host university will issue a certificate to the exchange student, certifying the completion of the “NUS University Scholars Programme – Peking University Yuanpei Programme Student Exchange Programme”.

USP students graduate with a major degree from their home faculty or school, and a China Studies Minor.

Declaration of Major:

Pls declare your Minor with your home faculty before your 5th Semester’s exam.  The Faculty reserve the right to deny a student to declare a new FASS minor or to change a minor after the 5th semester.
