Course load Information
Full time undergraduate students usually take between 16 to 18 academic units (AUs). Most courses offered at NTU are 3 to 4 AUs. NTU does not stipulate the minimum number of AUs students must take. However, it is highly recommended that students take at least 2 courses for their academic progression back home.
Postgraduate students must take a minimum of 1 graduate (PG) course and a maximum of 5 courses.
Transfer credit
The transfer credit process takes approximately 16 weeks following each submission deadline. You should allow sufficient time to meet important deadlines that may affect you (e.g. application for graduation, registration in courses that require prerequisites that you took on exchange, entry to a major/honours program, etc.)
