Young and research-intensive, NTU is placed 19th globally, and 1st among the world’s best young universities for five consecutive years (QS university rankings). SUSEP is a reciprocal arrangement between local partner universities which offers students the opportunity to participate in a semester-long exchange programme at NTU. Through SUSEP, students can take selected courses and experience student life at NTU, while concurrently pursuing their degree programme in their home university.

NTU is proud to partner with the following universities to offer SUSEP:

• Consult your academic advisor about your course selections and seek approval for your study plan.

We seek your understanding that approval of courses is up to each School’s discretion. It is also worth noting that popular courses are highly competitive, making it difficult to secure placement.
