Participants have the option to enroll in courses or conduct research during the exchange (minimum of 3 months duration). All courses, except language courses, are conducted in English.
Undergraduate students typically enroll in 3 to 5 courses per semester with each course typically worth 3 or 4 Academic Units (AUs), subject to approval from both their home university and NTU. There is no minimum workload requirement, but the maximum workload permitted is 6 courses or 20 AUs per semester.
Postgraduate students may only take postgraduate-level courses and must be registered to least one and up to five postgraduate courses per semester. Only Direct (Integrated) Masters students who have completed at least seven semesters of study at their home university are eligible to apply under the undergraduate category, to have access to advanced undergraduate courses in addition to postgraduate courses.
