Overview
These programmes feature an innovative teaching model ‐ the Combined Academic Staff for Teaching (CAST). In the CAST model, both local academics based in Singapore and key experts from Newcastle UK campus teach on the programmes. Specifically, the model is designed to introduce students to a greater breadth of research expertise, which will deepen their learning through the inclusion of cutting-edge research insights in the programme modules.
The CAST model adopts a blended teaching methodology anchored around remote delivery of lectures by Newcastle based academics on key topics and supported by NUiS local academics in follow‐up labs and tutorials. Some UK-based academics will visit Singapore in person to deliver their teaching face‐to‐face and engage directly with students.
Students will spend a compulsory 3-weeks trip to Newcastle University home campus to undertake part of a module curriculum, with academic credits, during their Overseas Immersion Programme (OIP) at the end of Year 1. This gives students the opportunity to study and experience the campus life in the UK.
It is a requirement of NU for external examiners to be appointed for all its programmes wherever they are delivered, including those taught in partnership with other awarding bodies. This process provides quality assurance and ensures the standards of our programmes meet or exceed the academic benchmarks.
Students are awarded a degree with a joint award parchment and transcript issued by both institutions.
You can apply for our undergraduate courses through the SIT website. The application period opens between January and March.
