Undergraduate Senior Year Project

(A) Updates included in NUS Bulletin 2015-16 before archival (i.e., up to 30 June 2016)

S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks Fourth-year undergraduate composition students are given the opportunity to design a Senior Year Project (SYP) that furthers the trajectory of interests developed during their studio studies and related compositional activities undertaken at the Conservatory in their first three years. The specific format, content, and nature of the SYP are open. It could include a portfolio of original compositions, a single large-scale work, a sound or multimedia installation, or another composition-related project. The project should consist of a minimum of 25 minutes of music. It must be original material and not include work that has been previously assessed. It should be developed in close consultation with the student's studio teacher. When the SYP is finished, it is submitted as a portfolio that includes the following for each work: 1) Score (where applicable); 2) Programme Notes; 3) Recording; and 4) Other relevant materials (Max patches, Arduino sketches, floor plans, circuit diagrams/schematics, etc.).

The Senior Year Project is a requirement for graduation.

Performances:

All works in an SYP must receive performances by the end of the final semester of study. For works not using traditional performance settings (installations, for instance) the term "performance" can be broadly defined. Performances can take place on conservatory events, such as noon recitals, SoundBites, NME concerts, and the annual senior composition recital. If these events do not fit the nature of the project, students are encouraged to create events that do. In addition, students are encouraged to identify performance opportunities outside of the conservatory, working with ensembles and/or presenters both locally and internationally. Regardless of where performances take place, they must be recorded. A high-quality audio and/or video recording of each work is required as part of the SYP portfolio. The SYP portfolio is to be the submitted to the Conservatory Academic Affairs Office prior to the date of the SYP Presentation. Late or incomplete submission of the SYP portfolio will incur a penalty of half a letter grade per day.

Presentation:

In addition to the submission of the SYP portfolio, students are required to give a 25-30 minute presentation on their SYP at the end of semester 2. The presentation should provide a thorough and relevant analysis of the SYP works as well as clearly demonstrate the relationship between technical approaches and artistic goals. There will also be time given for Q&A. The SYP Presentation

(A) Updates included in NUS Bulletin 2015-16 before archival (i.e., up to 30 June 2016)

S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks will be held during Exam Week 1. Students will be notified by the Academic Affairs Office on the time and date of the presentation.

SYP Proposal Timeline:

The Senior Year Project must be approved by the composition department. After developing a SYP in consultation with his/her major study teacher, the student formally proposes it to the composition department. The deadline for proposal submission is the Monday of Reading Week in Semester 2 of Year 3. Students will be notified of approval by end of Reading Week.

SYP Assessment Breakdown:

70% Portfolio 10% Performance 20% Presentation

Students are required to attain a minimum of a C grade in their Senior Year Project to pass. Students who fail to attain the minimum grade must reschedule their SYP for the following semester.

Jury Requirements for Graduate Year 1:

At the end of each semester, graduate students are required to submit a portfolio of their works for jury grading. The deadline for the submission of the composition portfolio is the Monday of Exam Week 1 by 12noon. All portfolios are to be submitted to the Conservatory Academic Affairs Office. Late submissions will incur a penalty of half a letter grade per day. Guidelines for submitting the composition portfolio are the same as those listed above (see Submission of Composition Portfolio).

Graduate Final Year Project

Final year graduate composition students will design a yearlong composition project similar to the undergraduate senior year project. The project should comprise at least 25 minutes of music and attend an oral defense invigilated by a jury. The Graduate Final Year Project is a requirement for graduation.

(A) Updates included in NUS Bulletin 2015-16 before archival (i.e., up to 30 June 2016)

S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks GFYP Proposal Timeline:

The Graduate Final Year Project must be approved by the composition department. After developing the project in consultation with his/her major study teacher, the student formally proposes it to the composition department. The deadline for proposal submission is the Friday of Week 1 in Semester 1 of Year 4. Students will be notified of approval by end of Week 2.

GFYP Assessment Breakdown:

70% Portfolio 10% Performance 20% Oral Defense

Students are required to attain a minimum of a C grade in their Graduate Final Year Project to pass. Students who fail to attain the minimum grade must reschedule their GFYP for the following semester.

Assessment and Grading

For Undergraduate Years 1-3: Semester 1: Weekly Assessment (60%); Portfolio (40%) Semester 2: Weekly Assessment (40%); Portfolio (60%)

For Undergraduate Year 4: To accommodate a yearlong composition project, the assessment weighting in year 4 is different from that in years 1-3. The assessment weighting for Year 4 is as follows: Semester 1 – Weekly Assessment (100%) Semester 2 – Senior Year Project (100%)

For Graduate Year 1: Semester 1: Weekly Assessment (60%); Portfolio (40%) Semester 2: Weekly Assessment (40%); Portfolio (60%)

S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks 15. 4 Jan 2016 RO Arising from discussions on removal of the ‘terminal’ feature’ of Graduate Diploma and liberalisation of

admission criteria of Masters by coursework programmes at the UCEP (for graduate matters) meeting of 19 November 2015, the following amendments highlighted in red are made in the respective URLs below: Update (1): http://www.nus.edu.sg/admissions/graduate-studies/admission-requirements.php Graduate Admissions Minimum Requirements for Coursework-based Programmes Admission to a coursework-based graduate programme would usually requires at least a Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent, in the subject or related discipline. In addition, programmes may require candidates to demonstrate readiness for graduate study through a specific standard of achievement in:

• Common placement examination (e.g., the subject GRE, GMAT); or • Programme-administered placement test in the relevant field (which may also consist of a structured

interview to test the candidate’s understanding of the field); or • Completion of 40 MCs of preparatory modules.

Exceptionally, candidates with other qualifications and experience may be considered on a case-by-case basis, subject to approval by the BGS. With the approval of the Senate, programmes may specify relevant work experience as an additional admission requirement. Credit transfer and exemption for the graduate coursework-based programme may be granted for NUS modules taken and passed prior to admission to the programme or for modules completed at another tertiary institution recognised by the University. Generally, only modules that have not been used towards another degree at NUS or elsewhere may be considered for credit and grade transfers (NUS modules) / exemption (non-NUS modules). For such non-NUS modules, only up to 50% of the total coursework requirements may be exempted. There is no limit on the credit and grade transfers of NUS modules that have not been used towards another degree at NUS. In addition, for coursework-based programmes which require more than the usual 40 MCs, NUS modules that have been used towards another degree at NUS can be considered for credit and grade transfer provided the resultant total coursework requirement does not fall below 40 MCs. All modules for credit transfer and exemption must be relevant to the degree programme to which the candidate

S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks seeks admission, have comparable content and level of sophistication, and be read less than five (5) years before the date of admission. Students seeking credit transfer and exemption should apply to the relevant programme office within the first semester of study. ---------------------- Update (2): http://www.nus.edu.sg/admissions/graduate-studies/graduate-programmes.php Graduate Programmes NUS offers a wide range of graduate programmes catering for a variety of interests, namely:

• Doctoral degree programmes at NUS are primarily research-based. They equip students with the skills required to advance knowledge, and human progress. Doctoral degrees are typically the first choice of students who seek depth of knowledge, enjoy creative problem solving, and who aspire to hold high level positions in their respective fields.

• Master's degree programmes are primarily designed to prepare students for the practice of a profession (typically Master's by coursework), or to master a subject area as a precursor to doctoral training (typically Master's by research).

• Graduate Diploma is offered as a terminal qualification and provides focused limited professional training in a specific niche. Graduate Diploma is often favoured by students who seek additional exposure to an area of interest without committing themselves to longer-term further studies.

These programmes offer excellent opportunities for students to further develop their potential as intellectual leaders for a wide range of career paths. Prospective graduate students should consider carefully which type of graduate programme most suits their interests and career aspirations. Increasingly, students pursuing a research-oriented career (whether in industry or academe) and/or wanting to advance quickly in their chosen career, elect to enrol in a Doctoral programme. NUS is home to students and faculty members from many countries. Its faculty members have an international reputation for research excellence in many fields. They have built collaborations in research across national borders and disciplines. Some of these collaborations provide opportunities for students to work towards a Ph.D. degree conferred jointly by NUS and an overseas partner university.

(A) Updates included in NUS Bulletin 2015-16 before archival (i.e., up to 30 June 2016)

S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks NUS’ programmes are characterized by intellectual rigour and cutting-edge scholarship. They are designed to nurture a passion for inquiry and to provide you with the tools to tackle intellectual challenges with confidence and creativity. As a community with a global orientation, NUS welcomes applications from highly qualified students, both local and international. The full list of NUS graduate programmes are given below together with hyperlinks to the individual programme websites.

• Graduate Programmes by Research • Graduate Programmes by Coursework

------------------------ Update (3): http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/gd.html Graduate Education NUS offers a variety of comprehensive and challenging graduate programmes, some of which are primarily research-based, while others are coursework-based. The Graduate Diploma is offered as a terminal qualification and provides focused limited professional training in a specific niche. The Master's degree is intended to develop mastery of a field and prepares students for the practice of a profession or as a precursor to doctoral training. The Doctoral degree is designed to prepare students for creative activity and original research, often in preparation for the pursuit of an academic career. In order to accommodate students with full-time employment, some programmes allow students to enroll on a part-time basis, with modules conducted in the evenings, and in some instances, on Saturdays. Graduate students are admitted to either a coursework or research programme and are distinguished by the programme in which they are enrolled. The Graduate Diploma and various Master's degree programmes are offered under the coursework structure. The Ph.D. and Master's degrees in certain disciplines are strictly research-based programmes.

To update according to the amendments highlighted in red below: DDP Framework and Guidelines www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/UG/spugp-double-degree-guidelines.html 9. Continuation Requirement and Exit The continuation requirements for DDPs are as follows:

• For students admitted before AY2011/12: A student who does not maintain a CAP of 4.00 in modules

contributing to the original degree for any two consecutive semesters will be required to withdraw from the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. A warning will be issued if the CAP falls below 4.00 in a semester.

• For students admitted with effect from AY2011/12 onwards: A student who does not maintain a CAP of 4.00 in modules contributing to the original degree, and a CAP of 3.50 for the second degree for any two consecutive semesters will be required to withdraw from the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. A warning will be issued if the CAP falls below 4.00 for the original degree in a semester, or

S/N Date Faculty/School Updates Remarks below 3.50 for the second degree, or both. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable in the final graduating semester.

• For students admitted from AY2014/15 onwards: A student who does not maintain a CAP of 3.75 in modules contributing to the original degree; and a CAP of 3.25 for the second degree for any two consecutive semesters will be required to withdraw from the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. A warning will be issued if the CAP falls below 3.75 for the original degree in a semester, or below 3.25 for the second degree, or both. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable once a student’s total cumulative modular credits exceeds 160MCs.

A student may decide to withdraw or can be asked to withdraw from the double degree programme by withdrawing from the second degree programme. However, he/she is not allowed to withdraw from the first degree (i.e. originally offered degree) programme and transfer to the second degree programme. All the modules which the student has taken to fulfil the requirements of the second degree will be reflected in the transcript and included in the computation of the CAP for the single degree. No DDP withdrawal is allowed in the midst of a semester (except for graduating cases). DDP students can request to withdraw from the second degree after results release up to the first week of the following semester. DDP students exiting the programme shall be allowed to exercise S/U on the modules taken in the immediate past semester provided they submit their S/U requests to their home faculty by the first week of the following semester. Update (2) FAQs for DDP, CDP and DM http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/faqs/ddp-cdp-dm-faq.html A. Double Degree Programmes (DDPs) 13. What if I do badly or don't like the course?

Students can choose to leave the programme, or can be asked to leave the programme if they fail to meet continuation requirements.

a. For candidates admitted to NUS before AY2011/12*: if your CAP falls below 4.00 for the home course for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme. (Students admitted to NUS in AY2010-11 and earlier who are admitted into DDPs after their first year, or who self-design their DDPs will follow this continuation requirement).

For candidates admitted to NUS from AY2014/15 onwards: if your CAP falls below 3.75 for the home course, or below 3.25 for the second degree, or both, for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP. However, this DDP continuation rule is not applicable once a student’s total cumulative modular credits exceeds 160MCs.

Specific DDPs (e.g. with Law) may stipulate other continuation requirements. Please refer to the specific DDP websites for details. For students leaving the programme, your academic advisor will advise you on the modules you need to complete the degree requirements of your home course. Upon withdrawal, all the modules taken to fulfil the requirements of the second degree will be reflected in the transcript and included in the computation of the CAP for the single degree. *Refers to cohort academic year. 14. What do I need to know about putting together my own double degree combination?

Students interested to pursue their own double degree combinations must have obtained a minimum CAP of 4.00 after completing between 60 to 80 MCs (excluding MCs earned from student exchange programmes or advanced placement credits). Written approval to embark on the DDP must be obtained from the relevant Faculties. Students are advised to seek proper advice from their academic counsellors in planning their modules as early as possible in their candidature.

a. For candidates admitted to NUS before AY2011/12*: if your CAP falls below 4.00 for the home course for two consecutive semesters, you will be required to leave the DDP by withdrawing from the second degree programme.

Minor Programmes The MC requirement for a Minor Programme is as follows:

• At least 24 MCs, of which up to 8 MCs may be used to meet the requirements for both the Minor and a Major or another Minor, subject to the agreement of the particular department(s)/programme(s) or Faculty/School hosting the Minor.

• At least 12MCs (out of 24MCs) for any Minor programme must be taken from outside the entire set of modules that are listed for the major(s)/another minor that the student is taking/has taken.

• A minimum 16 MCs of the Minor requirements must be earned from modules read in NUS, unless indicated otherwise by Faculties/Departments for specific minors. Modules read at NUS include all modules taught, co-taught, supervised or co-supervised by one or more NUS faculty members. These would consist of graded modules with assigned grade points, or modules with an ‘S' or ‘CS' grade. The other 8 MCs may be earned through credit transfers, advanced placement and exemptions, provided these MCs are earned from modules deemed relevant to the particular Minor programme.

The Minor programme(s) will be reflected in the student's transcript upon successful completion. For Students admitted prior to AY2015/16: Relevant General Education Modules (GEMs) may be included in the list of modules approved for a Minor. Students who read such a GEM may count it towards both the General Education and Minor requirements. The MCs under the Breadth and Unrestricted Elective module requirements can also be used to satisfy the Minor programme requirements. For Students admitted from AY2015/16 onwards: Students who read modules coded as GEH/GEQ/GER/GES/GET to fulfil requirements for Minor programmes are not allowed to count these modules towards fulfilling both the General Education and the Major/Minor requirements. For example, if a student had taken a GEH module for his/her Minor programme, he/she would have to take another GEH

(SLP) To establish that “Major” refers to primary major, and not to establish “Primary Major” (with capital P) as University Nomenclature. It should be obvious from the context that it is distinguished from the “Second Major” in a Double major programme. Dropping Primary Amendments as indicated in red in the text below on this page: http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/UG/spugp-double-major.html

A Double Major is a single degree programme, in which a student satisfies the requirements of two Majors. It is conceived as an opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge and capacities by pursuing a second Major alongside their primary Major. The Second Major affords a significant degree of depth, although its MC requirement is set below that of the primary Major. The Second Major is a non-Honours major. It may be taken in the same faculty that offers the primary mMajor or from a different Faculty. A Second Major consist of at least 48 MCs. For students admitted prior to AY2014/15:

• up to 8 MCs can be counted also towards the Faculty/Primary Major/Minor requirements; and

• at least 16 MCs must be at Level 3000.

For students admitted from AY2014/15 onwards:

• up to 16 MCs can be counted also towards the Faculty/Primary Major/Minor requirements; and

• at least 16 MCs must be at Level 3000.

DMP website Amendments are highlighted in red below: At http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/education-at-nus/undergraduate-education/special-undergraduate-programmes/double-major-programmes.html: A Double Major is a single degree programme, in which a student satisfies the requirements of two Majors. It is conceived as an opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge and capacities by pursuing a second Major alongside their primary Major. The Second Major affords a significant degree of depth, although its MC requirement is set below that of the Major. The Second Major is a non-Honours major. It may be taken in the same faculty that offers the Major or from a different Faculty. A Second Major consist of at least 48 MCs.

For students admitted prior to AY2014/15:

• up to 8 MCs can be counted also towards the Faculty/Major/Minor requirements; and • at least 16 MCs must be at Level 3000.

For students admitted from AY2014/15 onwards:

• up to 16 MCs can be counted also towards the Faculty/Major/Minor requirements (Note: for counting towards a Minor, only a maximum of 8 MCs are allowed); and

• at least 16 MCs must be at Level 3000.

The changes to the Minor in Financial Mathematics, arising from the following:

• SoC students reading BComp (Computer Science) and BComp (Information Systems) are required to read ST2334 (Probability and Statistics) as part of their major requirements. As a component module of FM minor, ST2131 (Probability) precludes ST2334, and this results in SoC students not being able to satisfy the FM minor requirement.

• Another component module of the FM minor requirement, MA1104, has recently been recoded to

MA2104 Multivariable Calculus.

• A new module MA1508E Linear Algebra for Engineering, a slight variation of MA1508, will be offered to replace MA1508 in AY2017/18.

For students taking the minor in Mathematics, they can replace ST2334 with ST2131 and take ST2132 as an unrestricted elective to meet first major requirement.

5a: (i) Business analytics students who are doing or contemplating to do minor/second major requiring ST3131 such as Statistics need to do BT4240 rather than ST3131 as part of the core module requirement of the first major degree. (ii) Business analytics students who are not doing minor/second major requiring ST3131 such as Statistics can choose to do either BT4240 or ST3131. If these students do both modules, then BT4240 can be treated as a core module while ST3131 can be an elective module under List B. (iii) Business analytics students who have taken ST3131 and not taking minor/second major requiring ST3131 such as Statistics, they can take BT4240 as an elective module under List B.

6: Students can choose to take on any current 12 MCs or more internship-related programmes within the School of Computing (e.g., CP3880 Advanced Technology Attachment Programme
