Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I am accepted into IROP?
Students will receive an email one week before new term starts. Otherwise, drop us an email at irop@sutd.edu.sg.
I am working on a project but cannot complete within 1 term. What should I do?
You will have to discuss with your supervisor who will then submit a request for project extension to the IROP office. Please note that the maximum duration allowed for an IROP project is 2 terms.
