FAQ

The most common questions before applying

  1. [1] Does NOC count toward my degree?

    Yes — NOC modules count as electives or unrestricted electives depending on your faculty. Check with your faculty advisor before applying to confirm the exact mapping for your degree.

  2. [2] Can I apply if I’m in Year 4?

    NOC is open to NUS undergraduates in [year range — CONFIRM]. If you’re in your final year, talk to the NOC office about whether your degree timeline can accommodate 6 or 12 months abroad.

  3. [3] What does it cost?

    Programme fees vary by location and duration. Awards, scholarships, and bursaries cover all or part of the cost for many participants. Each programme page lists the specific funding routes available.

  4. [4] Will NOC find me an internship, or do I need to find one myself?

    NOC supports placement through a curated partner network — but you’ll be actively involved in the matching process, interviewing with hosts and shaping the role to your interests.

  5. [5] What’s the difference between Full Year and Short Programme?

    Full Year runs 12 months and includes coursework at a partner university plus a startup internship. Short Programme is 6 months and focuses on the internship; coursework is condensed.

  6. [6] Do I need to speak the local language?

    Working English is sufficient at most locations. A few hosts in non-English-speaking ecosystems prefer some local-language ability — check the per-location page for details.
