APPLICATION PROCESS Our application is not a test – it is an opportunity for us to learn as much about you as possible. Beyond grades, share with us your abilities, your interests and your goals, as fully as possible. Here are the steps:
STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 STEP 4
Create an account at admissions.sutd.edu.sg
Submit your grades, list your CCAs and other achievements (with supporting documents, such as School Graduation Certificate or equivalent), and provide your teachers’ contacts for recommendation letters.
[Encouraged!] Submit a link to your blog or video (of up to 90 seconds) or upload any supplementary materials that would showcase your creativity, hands-on experience, leadership qualities or any other details that would help us get to know you better.
[Once shortlisted] Submit your answers to a few short response questions before the interview.
The interview can either be in person or Skype (only for those who are overseas). More like a chat, this is a great opportunity for us to find out more about you – who you are, what drives you, and what makes you tick, and for you to do the same.
