Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level

A Mother Tongue subject (Chinese/Malay/Tamil) taken at a separate sitting of the GCE 'A' level examination is acceptable for purpose of admission. H1 non-Tamil Indian Language (Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu) or H1 Foreign Language (French, German, Japanese) may be taken in lieu of MTL.

Candidates who do not satisfy the MTL requirement may still submit an application for admissions. If selected, they will be admitted on a provisional basis. During their course of study, they will be required to meet the minimum MTL requirement before they are allowed to graduate.

Minimum Subject Requirements
To be eligible for a programme, you need to satisfy its subject requirement. Check the minimum subject requirements and 'A' level cut-off grades of the programme you wish to apply.

Computation of University Admission Score (UAS)
In computing the University Admission Score (UAS), the University will take into consideration the following:

• General Paper (GP) or Knowledge & Inquiry (KI)
• Project Work
• Best four content-based subjects (i.e. 3 H2 and 1 H1 content-based subjects, of which one must be a contrasting subject. Students may take KI in lieu of GP. KI is considered a H2 subject and can be considered as a contrasting subject to both Arts and Science. Students who take KI need not take a H1 content-based subject. Possible subject combinations and subjects to be counted in the UAS are given here.

A H1 subject will be counted as half of a H2 in terms of UAS computation.

MTL may be included in the computation of the UAS. The better of the two scores (i.e. with and without MTL) will be the UAS of the candidate.

SAT is not required for applicants presenting A-level certificates.

Meeting the minimum admission requirements does not indicate that the applicant can be admitted as admission to the University is based on open competition.

H3 programmes will not be considered in the computation of the UAS. Candidates who have taken H3 programmes may be considered for admission under Aptitude-based Admissions (ABA).
