### Programme Structure & Duration
Interdisciplinary Common Core (ICC) curriculum
The programme is designed to provide a comprehensive education and create diverse opportunities that harness students' talents, nurturing graduates without boundaries.
\
The Interdisciplinary Common Core (ICC) curriculum enhances teaching outcomes and prepares our students for lifelong learning. The ICC curriculum consists of:
- Interdisciplinary Collaborative Core (ICC): approximately 25%
- Major Requirements (Core and Major Prescribed Electives): approximately 60%
- Broadening and Deepening Electives (BDE): approximately 15%
The BDE can be used for a Second Major, Minor, Specialization, Work-Study programme, MOOCs, or any electives (including additional Major Prescribed Electives). Students will also have the opportunity to complete a full-semester internship with an industrial firm for practical learning experience.
Duration
Bachelor of Engineering (Civil Engineering) is a full-time direct honours four-year programme.
Minor
Students can acquire multiple skills and broader knowledge beyond what their major discipline may provide through minor programmes. There are more than 45 minors available in NTU.
\
\
Second Major
A Second Major programme provides students with a breadth of exposure and is also designed to offer greater depth of study in an additional discipline compared to a minor.
