The curriculum plan available on our website, www.suss.edu.sg, “Part-time Undergraduate” -> “View all Part-time Programmes” -> select the programme applied, will help you in your course selection planning. As our courses have quota limits, to avoid disappointment in securing courses of your choice, please confirm your course registration and make fee payment promptly.
