BRC Curriculum
Accelerated Bachelor's Programme (ABP)
(for students matriculated in AY2011/2012)
Introduction
The Accelerated Bachelor’s Programme (ABP) is designed for students who have the
potential to complete the B.Eng degree in 3½ years.
Curriculum
All students must earn a minimum of 138 Academic Units (AUs) to meet graduation
requirements. Students in the ABP will have to take on additional courses from the second
year. Since there are different routes to complete the ABP within the stipulated timeframe,
students can choose one that best suits their own pace. An example of the curriculum
structure can be found on the following page.
Final Year Project
All ABP students will select their MA4079 Final Year Project (FYP) in December and
commence their FYP in January of the following year. The FYP duration is one year. ABP
students are required to complete their FYP by December in the same year.
Students are reminded to check their NTU email account regularly for important
announcements on registration matters.
