General Education (GE) in NUS aims to empower undergraduates to question and to critically evaluate what is presented to them as knowledge, and to engage in inquiry, discovering and constructing knowledge on their own. It is one of the main components in the NUS curriculum that encourages broad based learning. GE modules fall into two main Subject Groups as follows:

Group A - Science & Technology
Group B - Humanities & Social Sciences

Science students are required to read 2 GEMs, of which at least one should come from Subject Group B. This gives Science students exposure to the knowledge and ways of thinking in the area of Humanities and Social Sciences. For more information on GE, please refer to the GE website.

The list of GE modules offered in the current semester can also be found in the CORS Module Information page.
