What a level grades are needed for NUS

With the level grades are needed for NUS, the University provides the following notification of grade profiles and degree programme places to enable prospective applicants to make informed choices in their application for admission to NUS undergraduate degree programmes.

The university considers various factors during the selection process, such as the applicant’s academic performance, co-curricular activities, achievements, and interview performance.

For most undergraduate courses at NUS, the general entry requirements were as follows:

  • AAA/A for students applying with H2 subjects.
  • AAA/A for students applying with H1 subjects.
  • Some courses, especially highly competitive ones like Medicine, Dentistry, Law, and some Engineering programs, may have more stringent requirements.

Please remember that NUS also considers other qualifications, such as the International Baccalaureate (IB), the Advanced Placement (AP) program, and other international qualifications.

There could be other equivalent profiles for each degree programme. For example, a grade profile of ABC/C could be considered to be broadly equivalent to BBB/C, unless there are other pre-requisites.
