Programme Structure
The programme duration is 8 terms for Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) or Bachelor of Science (BSc), or 10 terms for the concurrent BEng and Master of Engineering (MEng). Students who wish to pursue postgraduate studies can apply to our PhD programmes.
To equip SHARP students with research methodology and to deepen their subject domain knowledge, advanced classes (known as honours sessions) will be offered on top of the regular Freshmore subjects in Terms 1 to 3.
From Terms 4 to 8, you will conduct an undergraduate research project with one or more faculty members, which will lead to an undergraduate thesis in Term 8.
For students who continue in the Concurrent BEng-MEng Degree Pathway (CDP), you will extend the research project to Term 10, and complete the requirements of the Master of Engineering (MEng) by Research.
Global Research Exposure
During your two summer breaks, you will participate in an overseas summer programme and a research internship respectively. An optional short overseas field trip will be held during the Independent Activity Period (IAP) in Term 5.
Concurrent Degree Pathway (CDP)
The Concurrent BEng-MEng Degree Pathway (CDP) allows selected SHARP students with excellent research performance to extend their research project to Term 10 (two more terms), while completing the requirements of existing MEng (Research) degree. In the CDP, selected students will be enrolled as BEng students from Term 1 to 6, and continue as concurrent BEng and MEng students from Term 7 to 10.
Only selected SHARP students pursuing the Computer Science and Design (CSD), Engineering Product Development (EPD) or Engineering Systems and Design (ESD) degree programmes are eligible for application to CDP.
Academic Calendar
UG: Undergraduate; PG: Postgraduate
1 For continuation in SHARP, students must pass at least 2 honours sessions and attain a cGPA of at least 3.5 at the end of Term 3. All students are to indicate their choice of Major after the end of Term 3.
2 SHARP students are also eligible for overseas exchange in Term 6.
* Selected SHARP students in the CDP will be enrolled as BEng students from Term 1 to 6, and continue as concurrent BEng and MEng students from Term 7 to 10. Non-CDP students will be awarded with a BEng or BSc degree after completing the 8-term research-oriented programme.
