Admission to the Bachelor of Science (Nursing) programme is administered directly by NUS Office of Admissions (OAM).

Please visit OAM's website at http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/ for more details.

Admission of candidates into the Bachelor of Science (Nursing) programme will be based on academic merit. All eligible applicants must fulfil the minimum university requirements for admission to full-time undergraduate studies.

Once admitted, the following categories of students will be required to take the University administered Qualifying English Test (QET):

	students who obtained a grade of C5 and below in General Paper (GP) in the Singapore-Cambridge GCE 'A' level or Cambridge HSC examinations conducted in English;
	students who have taken GP in any non-English medium examinations; or
	students who have not taken GP at all.
Students who fail the QET will be required to read and pass prescribed English proficiency module(s) in order to graduate.

Based on the Qualifying English Test results, students who fail to meet exemption criteria have to take and pass ES1301 English for Academic Purposes. In addition, very weak students have to take and pass ES1000 Basic English Course before proceeding to ES1301.

ES1000 is offered only in the first semester whilst ES1301 is offered in both semesters of the academic year. Students who are required to take both ES1000 and ES1301 must take ES1000 in the first semester, whilst students who are required to take only ES1301 may do so in either the first or second semester.

ES1000 and ES1301 are not counted towards modular credits and CAP. However, they are included in the workload.

Students who need to clear ES requirement for graduation must do so by their fourth semester at the latest.

Applicants presenting an acceptable Diploma from a Polytechnic in Singapore can apply. Candidates who are holders of some specified diplomas may be granted advanced placement.

Applicants with overseas qualifications will be assessed for their equivalency in Singapore's context by the NUS Office of Admissions and the Nursing Admissions Committee. Equivalent international qualifications: A HL pass in an International Baccalaureate, in any two of the following subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Computing, Physics and Mathematics are required.

All candidates, local and foreign, who are short-listed, will be asked to attend an interview in April. The selection of students for the BSc (Nursing) programme will be determined by factors over and above the candidates' academic record.
