Bachelor of Arts (Industrial Design) (Hons.) Bachelor of Science (Project & Facilities Mgt.) (Hons.) Bachelor of Science (Real Estate) (Hons.) 3.2 Degree Requirements A. Four -Year B.A. (Ar c hi t ec t ur e) (Hons.) Pr ogr amme The B.A.(Arch) Hons. is a four years degree programme that comprises a general programme allowing for a choice of three forms of specialisation. The specialisation tracks are in Design, Design Technology & Sustainability (DTS) and Landscape Architecture(LA). The curriculum content for the first three years is common to both general and specialisation courses. The B.A.(Arch) Hons. programme is accredited by the Royal Institute of Architects (RIBA) to Part One standard. The general programme terminates at the B.A.(Arch) Hons. degree whereas the specialisation courses are concurrent with the Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) or Master of Landscape Architecture (M.LA.) degree programme. Only students who have achieved creditable grades in design, i.e. at least a B- in design at the third year level will be permitted to opt for a specialisation. Students who obtain a C grade at third year level will continue in a general degree program leading to B.A (Arch). Under this programme, students will no longer be required to take the design modules at fourth year level. In its place, students will take modules on Advanced Architectural Studies with options to focus on Design Computing, Architectural & Urban Heritage or Urban Studies. Students who graduate with a high CAP in the general programme would continue to have the opportunity to pursue other graduate programmes. Career Opportunities and Professional Registration Graduates with an B.A.(Arch) Hons. degree who have completed Advanced Architectural Studies on Design Computing, Architectural & Urban Heritage or Urban Studies pursue career in architectural practices, government agencies or in research and academia. Graduates would also have opportunities to work in related fields including and not limited to interior design, industrial design, industrialised building systems, graphic design, commercial art and architectural journalism. Graduates who complete the Landscape Architecture (LA) specialisation and graduate with B.A.(Arch) Hons. may also work in LA. The B.A.(Arch) Hons degree does not in itself qualify graduates for registration with the Board of Architects. The M.Arch. degree is RIBA Part Two accredited. In order to eventually register as an architect with the Board of Architects, Singapore. B.A.(Arch) Hons. graduates must complete the M.Arch degree and serve a minimum of two years of practical experience in an architectural practice to be eligible for the Professional Practice Examination conducted by the Board of Architects, Singapore. Those who pass the examination are then eligible to apply for registration as architects in Singapore. Table 1: Curriculum Structure of the Four-year B.A. (Arch) Hons.

Spec i al i sat i ons Students who have achieved creditable grades in design, i.e. at least a B- in design at the third year level will be permitted to opt for specialisation. The two specialisation tracks in Design and Design Technology & Sustainability (DTS) will lead to the M.Arch. degree programme. Specialisation in LA will lead to the Masters in Landscape Architecture (M.LA.) programme. The Design specialisation track offers students the opportunity to focus on design ideas, innovation and conceptualisation from a theoretical framework. The DTS specialisation track is driven by the need to adopt evidence based research and simulative design processes in pursuing sustainability in architecture. Specialisation modules will be offered at the fourth year level. The LA specialisation track enables students to migrate to the Masters in Landscape Architecture (M.LA.) programme. Specialisation modules will be offered at the third and fourth year levels. Students who have opted for the LA specialisation track after completion of second year level but fail to achieve creditable design grades at third year level will pursue the general degree programme. Please refer to Table 2 for admission criteria to the general programme and specialisation tracks in the B.A (Arch) programme. Progression for the Architecture Concurrent Degree Programme The admission requirements for various tracks of the M.Arch. and M.LA programmes are summarized in Table 2. Students will receive both B.A. (Arch) Hons./B.A. (Arch) (depending on his/her CAP) and M.Arch./ M.LA. degrees concurrently upon completing the Masters programme.

Critique sessions will form part of the studio procedure in teaching. Lecture modules include formal lectures, followed by seminars/tutorials. Field trips, site visits, measurement and study of buildings for research, investigation and documentation may be involved. Assessment and Examination Assessment criteria will vary according to subject content. In the Department of Architecture, design modules are assessed by 100% continuous assessment (CA). The other essential modules may also be assessed by 100% CA or a combination of CA and Examination. Students who fail an essential module will retake the module when it is next offered and must sit for the examination in that Semester. A retake module refers to a module where students have to attend lectures and tutorials and complete assignments and examinations. A new CA grade has to be obtained. Students who fail a GEM/SS/Breadth/UE module may either replace it with a new GEM/SS/Breadth/UE module or retake the failed module the following year. There is no limit to the number of times a student may retake the same GEM/SS/Breadth/UE module. A student who has passed the examination of a module will not be permitted to retake the same module for the purpose of improving his/her grade. This condition does not apply to the Design modules where the prerequisite for progression to the next level is a C grade. Students who achieve a D grade will be required to retake the Design module. Pr ogr essi on of St udent s Please see the table below: Graduation Requirements for four-year B.A. (Arch.)

Pr ogr amme The B.A. (ID) programme at NUS was first offered in 1999 with support from the Faculty of Engineering and School of Business. The Bachelor of Arts in Industrial Design, B.A. (ID), is a four-year undergraduate honours programme, consisting of courses crafted with our synergistic three-pronged approach: 1. Design Thinking: Out-of-box innovation strategies and investigative methods to discover new ideas and unmet needs. 2. Multi -Disciplinary Aptitudes: Behavioral sciences, social economics, business strategy, engineering and technology knowledgedevelop entrepreneurial strategic thinking and holistic problem-solving. 3. Artistic Sensibility: Training of imagination, taste, and craft-like ability to give pleasing and appropriate aesthetics and emotion to ideas, through traditional and 2D/3D digital means, so that solutions are both functional and desirable. The combined approaches equip our graduates with high-level strategic thinking, and enable them to translate problems and ideas to tangible, desirable solutions, i.e. meaningful products, environments and experiences that people love to have, love to use - and those which have a big impact on lives. As part of our strategy to be thought leaders in industry, a major component of the course is a series of industry-sponsored 'vertical studio platforms'. These are project teams comprising a mix of year 2 to year 4 students, encouraging cross-pollination of thoughts, skills and learning. In these platforms, students tackle both conceptual and real-life projects led by our industry collaborators, e.g. Asus, Dell, L'Oreal, Estee Lauder, BMW Group DesignworksUSA, Tupperware, Toshiba, Osim, ICI, Swarovski, HansGrohe, Risis and Nakamichi. Students may customize their individual course during the 4 years by selecting from amongst these different industry platforms - Each student will get the opportunity to be involved in 6-7 of these projects. The programme has been proven to be effective in grooming students for the design and related industries. Apart from the success in local and international competitions and awards, recent graduates have achieved recognition in gaining scholarships for further studies as well as being placed in well- known design practices and reputable companies. Students can also opt to do a second major in Management (Technology), offered by School of Business, in four years. I nt er nat i onal Ex posur e To broaden our students' exposure to global challenges, two-thirds of each cohort are involved in one- semester overseas exchange programme during their 3rd year. Students typically go to distinguished design schools in Switzerland, France, Japan, Netherlands, Finland, USA, Germany, Italy and China. Car eer Oppor t uni t i es Students are educated to become expert innovators and master problem-solvers. These attributes make them highly valuable in any industry. Graduates pursue careers as industrial designers, interaction designers, brand and packaging designers, design managers, product managers and innovation consultants. It is also possible for industrial designers to rise to corporate leadership levels in the areas of creative innovation or design. These are highly-coveted positions, such as Chief Designer, Chief Innovation Officer (CIO), etc. Armed with design, business and technological knowledge, graduates will be well-positioned to serve in R&D companies, technology start-ups, design consultancies, service industries, marketing sectors and government agencies as well as in design education.

Mast er of Ar c hi t ec t ur e Pr ogr amme Obj ec t i ves The strategic objective of the M.Arch. programme is to prepare students for a professional career in architecture in a rapidly changing global context, with experiences developed from Singapore and international perspectives. It hopes to achieve this with a team of international academics and practitioners: a) To develop intellectual and critical thinking skills in and around the field of architecture. b) To develop rigour in the discipline of architectural design and the ability to integrate the many aspects - theoretical and practical in the design process. c) To develop ability in scholarly research. d) To further the concept of tropical environment architecture. Design is the central core discipline. It is complemented by other courses that focus on the technological, ethical, and professional and management aspects of architecture. Design constitutes approximately two thirds of the M.Arch. course content. The design programmes offered in the M.Arch. programme are generally more complex in nature. Students are expected to demonstrate rigour in their approach towards designs. The final schemes should not merely demonstrate competence but also draw in other ethical and cultural issues with which the schemes are engaged. Ent r y Requi r ement s This is the final year of the architecture programme following a four-year undergraduate honours programme in architecture. Graduates of this programme will have a prerequisite degree for professional registration in Singapore. Candidates are required to possess: (i) a B.A. (Arch) Hons. RIBA accredited degree OR (ii) four years of Architectural training, of which the first three years are from a RIBA Part 1 validated course and the fourth year is from a year of study in a RIBA Part 2 course equivalent to the fourth year of NUS B.A. (Arch.) Hons. programme. Applicants holding a non-RIBA Part 1 accredited degree or qualification must provide proof of accreditation by a National Accreditation Board or the Board of Architects of the country of origin; or Board of Architects (Singapore), subjected to approval by the Board of Graduate Studies. A preparatory course (a one- or two-year programme, depending on the candidates academic performance and portfolio review) is usually mandatory for non-NUS degree holders and NUS graduates of the three-year Bachelors programme in Architecture. Candidates must complete Architectural Design track of the four-year B.A. (Arch.) Hons. programme (M.Arch. preparatory course for external candidates) with minimum CAP of 2.5, and minimum C for Year 4 Design in order to proceed to the M.Arch. programme. Candidates who meet the relevant requisites would also be considered for entry to the M.Ar c h. programme with specialisation in Ur ban Desi gn or Desi gn Tec hnol ogy and Sust ai nabi l i t y . Gr aduat i on Requi r ement s Successful completion of the M.Arch. programme requires a candidate to complete 40 MCs of a dissertation and three essential modules.

Mast er of Ar c hi t ec t ur e w i t h spec i al i sat i on i n Ur ban Desi gn Pr ogr amme Obj ec t i ves The rapid urbanisation of the Asian landscape and the equally swift transformation of its cities create an urgent need in the region for design professionals, especially practicing architects and planners, to deal with problems of designing within existing urban fabrics and in the periphery of rapidly growing cities. Exposure to a wide scale of design issues ranges from the layout of towns and the restructuring of inner cities to the shaping of streets as settings for public life. The provision of open spaces that nurture civic consciousness also require in-depth consideration. The M.Arch. programme with specialisation in Urban Design aims to offer a broad based education in the theory and practice of urban design to enhance the knowledge and abilities of professional architects involved in the design, creation, and evaluation of urban spaces. More specifically, the programme hopes to achieve the following objectives: 1. Produce environmentally and socially responsible professionals who are committed to the provision of good urban public areas. 2. Develop analytical and methodological skills that are critical foundations to urban design processes. 3. Provide exposure, at an advanced level, to the full range of issues that bear upon the design and realisation of large scale urban space. 4. Prepare students for advanced careers in urban design, consulting, research or public service, or in preparation for further academic training.

This reputation is based on its long history of the creation and impartation of knowledge, fostering of innovation and enterprise in Architecture, Industrial and Urban Design, Building and Real Estate. The School comprises three departments: Architecture, Building, Real Estate and one division: Industrial Design. The Division of Research and Graduate Studies spearheads graduate research and teaching programmes and promotes inter and multidisciplinary research among the various disciplines of the built environment. Degree programmes in building and estate management were first offered in 1969 in the then Department of Building and Estate Management. This was subsequently changed to the School of Building and Real Estate. In June 2000 the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Real Estate changed its name to the School of Design & Environment. As a result of this change, Building and Real Estate were established as separate departments. The Industrial Design degree programme was first offered in 1999 in the Department of Architecture. Since June 2010, the programme has been independent and established as a separate division. Mi ssi on The Department of Architecture aims to foster a creative, innovative and intellectually vibrant environment with a global outlook that will establish design, academic, and professional excellence in the New Asian Environment. The mission of the Department of Building is to advance knowledge, educate students, and foster enterprise in project and facilities management. The Department of Real Estate aims to create and impart knowledge concerning the value and management of the built environment and nurture leaders for the real estate industry. The Division of Industrial Design aims to make life better through design by equipping students with trans-disciplinary skills and thinking processes required to find unmet needs, and to solve the complex problems involved in creating viable new products, experiences, interfaces and environments.
