Admission
Requirements:
Masters
Applicants with a good NUS Honours degree (second
class and above) or an equivalent (e.g., a four-year
Bachelors degree with at least an average grade
of B or equivalent) in a relevant discipline are
eligible to apply for the Master of Social Sciences
(Research).
PhD
A candidate who has a good Masters degree in a
relevant discipline can apply for Doctor of Philosophy

As the medium of instruction is English, applicants
whose native tongue or medium of undergraduate instruction
is not in English should submit TOEFL (Test of English
as a Foreign Language) scores or IELTS (International
English Language Testing System) scores as evidence
of their proficiency in the English language. A
minimum TOEFL score of 580 for the paper-based test
or 237 for the computer-based test; or IELTS result
of 6.0 is required. TOEFL or IELTS are only valid
for two years after the test and the validity should
not expire before the beginning of the application
period for the research programme. Applicants are
also encouraged to take the TWE (Test of Written
English).
In previous semesters, the acceptance rate has been about 10%. Successful candidates usually have
very high GRE (average 2100 out of a total of
2400) and TOEFL (average 620 out of a total of
677) scores.
