1. Students are to obtain a minimum of eighty modular credits before proceeding to France

3. Faculty Requirements: Not necessary

4. Honours Project: After coming back from the Grandes Ecoles, students embark on their MSc programme. They are required to submit part of the work from their MSc projects for the fulfillment of their honours projects. The assessment of this work follows the same guidelines as specified by the departments for their honours students. These will be used towards the Honours final year project grade and the Honour’s classification.

5. File for graduation: Students in this programme file for graduation upon completion of the MSc programme. Alternatively, students can file for the BSc (Hons) graduation as soon as they complete the honours project module.

By the second year of their study in France, students are to apply for the NUS Masterss Programme. The closing dates for Graduate Programmes (Research) application are:

- for January Intake: by 15 May of the previous year;
- for August Intake: by 15 Dec of the previous year.

When identifying an academic staff as the supervisor, students are to inform the staff to design the initial portion of the MSc thesis as an honours project.

At the end of the programme, students will be awarded a Bachelor's degree with Honours and Master's degree from NUS, and the "Diplome d'Ingenieur" from the French Grande Ecole.

The Grandes Ecoles are the top French engineering schools which provide higher education and quality research in engineering science. A common feature of all Grandes Ecoles is the strong emphasis on Mathematics and Physics curricula in the first year which is equivalent to the honours level in NUS. Non-Physical Science students may still apply for the Double Degree Programme but they must prepare themselves by building a strong background in Mathematics and Physics. It is advisable to complete the following physics and mathematics modules at NUS before going to the Grandes Ecoles: PC2130, MA2101, MA2108, MA3110, MA3111 and MA3209.

Among the 6 partners, Ecole Polytechnique (X), Ecole Centrale Paris (ECP) and Ecole Nationale Superieure des Mines de Paris (ENSMP) offer programmes which are more suitable for science students. As the study in the Grandes Ecoles requires a high level of mathematics and physics, only students majoring in mathematics and physics will be invited to apply.

For details of their programmes, students are advised to consult the handbooks, the webpage or relevant advisors from the Grandes Ecoles and from NUS for more information.
