3.3 Minor Programmes
A Minor Programme is a coherent course of study which
provides significant depth in a certain area outside the
student’s discipline. Due to limited places in each
programme, each student is only allowed to read one
Minor Programme.
The Modular Credits (MCs) requirements for a Minor
Program should not be less than 24 MCs. Where there
exists a substantial equivalence in the modules,
departments may grant double counting of MCs from the
major requirements (up to a maximum of 8 MCs) towards
the MCs requirement in the Minor Program. A student may
use up to 20 MCs to satisfy the Unrestricted Elective
Modules (UEMs) and another 8 MCs from the Breadth
component of the University Level Requirement. If a student
is unable to double count the minor modules towards his
Breadth or UEM, he/she will take them on top of the 160
MCs graduation requirement. The Minor modules will be
graded and the Cumulative Average Point (CAP) will be
counted towards degree classification. The Minor
Programme will be reflected in the student’s academic
transcript. For more information on these programmes and
other minor programmes, please refer to:

The following Minor Programmes are offered by the
Faculty of Engineering:
3.3.1 Minor in Bioengineering (hosted by the Division
of Bioengineering)
Bioengineering is a discipline that advances knowledge in
engineering, biology, and medicine. It improves human
health through inter disciplinary integration of the
engineering sciences with the biomedical sciences.
Bioengineering forms part of the Life Sciences, which is
fast becoming a strategic area of economic development
in Singapore. The aim of this minor is to enable students
to understand how the principles and tools of traditional
engineering fields, such as mechanical, materials,
electrical, and chemical engineering, can be applied in
biology and medicine. It will be suited to students who
wish to pursue further career opportunities in hospitals
and health care centres, medical devices, pharmaceutical,
biotechnology and biomaterials industries. More details of
the programme can be found at the Division of
Bioengineering website:
http://www.bioeng.nus.edu.sg/edu/ ugrad/minor.htm
Only Stage 2 engineering students are eligible to apply
for the Minor in Bioengineering Programme. The intake
for the programme is in January each year.
