As admission to the University is competitive, do note that satisfying the minimum requirements is often not enough to be competitive for selection. The selection will be based on merit and a comprehensive review as outlined above.
However, as a guide, the University has provided the following reference data to help prospective applicants make an informed choice in applying to the university:
Of the A Level students who were offered in the university admission exercise in 2020:
- Nearly all had taken Mathematics at H2 level, and 8 in 10 scored at least a B
- Nearly all had taken either Physics or Chemistry (or both) at H2 Level, and nearly 7 in 10 of those who took H2 Physics and/or H2 Chemistry scored at least a B for either or both subjects
If you are applying for more than one special programme, you will be required to rank them in order of preference. You will be informed of the programme you are shortlisted for prior to the interview, except for the SUTD-Duke-NUS Special Track where the review will be done after your acceptance to SUTD. If successful, you will also be informed of the specific programme which you have been offered.
You only need to submit one application form for consideration of admission and scholarship. We do not charge an application fee. Refer to the application guide.
You will generally be notified by end April if you are shortlisted for an admission interview. The interview format may vary depending on your application profile and the programme shortlisted for.
All applicants will receive an email notification on your admission outcome by mid-May. Upon receiving the email, you will be able to log in to the SUTD Admissions System to view and download your notification of admission (and scholarship, if applicable) outcome letter.
If you wish to appeal against SUTD’s admissions decision, you will need to submit an online appeal via the application portal between 11 May 2022 and 24 May 2022. Note that if you had applied with predicted results (except predicted International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma), even after submission of the online appeal, you will still be required to upload your final results within 3 days upon its release before your appeal can be considered.
If you had applied with predicted International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma results and wish to appeal against SUTD’s admissions decision, you may submit an online appeal with your actual IB results between 5 July 2022 and 11 July 2022.
Your appeal must represent significant and compelling new academic and/or personal information that was not present at the time of application and which brings merit for reconsideration.
Only applicants who have submitted an application in the current admissions exercise, and have received outcomes of their application may submit an appeal. Appeals can only be submitted here after logging into the SUTD Admissions System. Appeals via any other channels will not be considered.
The deadline to accept our offer will be stated in your offer letter.
