Courses and Program

English Requirements

While OSAC and SCS allows students to proceed into the course program they applied
for, it is mandatory for all students to have a minimum level of proficiency in English. All
students would sit for a English placement test to determine the level of English
proficiency before the students is admitted to the relevant course programmer.

Work Holiday Programmer

"MOM will introduce a Work Holiday Programmer (WHP) from 1 December 2007 to
allow undergraduates and graduates from overseas to experience living and working in
Singapore for a short period. There is a growing trend of well-qualified young people
travelling abroad to gain exposure and experience foreign cultures. A positive
experience of living and working in Singapore under the programmer could encourage
some of them to work here when they graduate, or at a later stage in their careers. This
program will help enhance Singapore's reputation as a talent destination, valued for its
working and living experiences."
Speech by Dr Ng Eng Hen, Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Defence, at
Singapore Medical Council Physician's Pledge Affirmation Ceremony, 18 May 2007
