Available Modules
You may refer to the list of modules available for selection, according to each cluster.

Students may take modules across clusters. Please take note of the venues for the different modules. 

Timetable
Timetable schedules are finalised about two weeks before the start of the trimester.

Note: Note: SIT will provide the timetable once available for students to check for clashes in the schedule before deciding to take up the SUSEP offer at SIT in AY2026 Trimester 2.

Examinations
Unless otherwise stated, examinations will typically occur in the Final Assessment Week (i.e., Week 14 of each trimester).  

In the event of a clash between exam schedules at the host university and SIT modules, alternative arrangements will be made for the affected SIT module only if the SIT timetable is confirmed after the host university’s timetable.

If the SIT timetable has already been provided in advance, no changes will be made.

Number of modules/credits
You may take a minimum of 1 module and up to 5 or 6 modules. 

A full-load module is six credits. A typical workload in SIT is 30 credits (5 modules x 6 credits). 1 credit equates to 25 hours of scheduled classes, projects, practical work, self-study and continual assessment.

Academic Calendar 
AY2026 Trimester 2 runs from 4 January to 2 May 2027. You may refer to SIT’s Academic Calendar.
