Frequently Asked Questions

1. I would like to come as a visiting student to Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies

Graduate research students will apply for research attachment under the NUS Non-Graduating Programme for this purpose. Please refer to this link for more information https://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/prospective-students/non-graduating/research

2. May I choose a preferred supervisor from Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies for the research attachment?

Yes, you may but your choice is not guaranteed.

3. I need to apply for funding for my research attachment and I must furnish the NUS letter of admission to the funding agency?

NUS is unable to provide you with a letter of admission for this purpose. You will have to apply as a fee-paying student (NGNE-R) in the meantime as you have yet to be awarded funding for your attachment. Please upload a documentary proof of financial support in English certifying financial ability to make payment for the Miscellaneous Student Fees (MSFs) and research fee for the intended study period. The bank statement should also be the latest original, certified true copy or electronically generated statements. In the event if you have been successfully awarded funding, you will be required to submit the official funding award letter to NUS for reference. If you do not receive the funding award and wishes to withdraw from the programme, you should also inform NUS on your decision to withdraw.
