Bachelor of Technology (BTech) Programme Transfer Request

Students may request to transfer between programmes administered by SCALE as follows:

• A BTech Programme to another BTech Programme

Note:
1) BTech programme transfer is applicable only within the same discipline (e.g. Electronics Engineering to
Mechanical Engineering or Cybersecurity to Software Engineering). Transfer from an Engineering
Discipline to a Computing Discipline or vice versa is NOT allowed due to differences in Admission
Requirements, Degree Requirements and basis of awarding Advanced Placement Credits (APCs). In such
a case, students are required to submit a new application during the application period via SCALE Online
Application Portal and be considered as fresh applicants.
2) Students should not withdraw from their current BTech Programme until they have been informed on the
outcome of their application to the new programme.

submitted within the period will be processed.

Instructions on submitting the programme transfer request

(Note: For students who are currently taking courses in the Special Term, please also indicate the courses in
the form.)

Information to Note

a) Transfer request will be evaluated based on the student’s academic background as well as performance in the
current programme.
b) Students may be required to sit for compulsory entrance examination/s by the Admissions Committee in order
to access their suitability for the transfer of programme/course. There is a non-refundable and non-transferable
entrance examination fee of $80 (exclusive of GST) for each entrance examination.
c) For students who are transferring from one BTech programme to another, upon approval of the transfer request,
there will be a full-unit transfer of the courses from the current programme. This means that the units and
grades obtained for all courses taken as well as the latest GPA will be transferred to the new BTech
Programme. Please note that students may need to complete the BTech Degree with more than minimum
required units of courses if all courses cannot be used to map towards the new BTech Programme. If a student is
enjoying the MOE Tuition Fee Subsidy, any units which exceed the minimum required units of courses for the
new BTech Degree will not be subsidised and student will be charged full fees.
d) The programme transfer request normally takes about 1-2 weeks to process after all required details/information
(i.e. including current term’s exam results) and payment have been received.
e) The request to transfer programme is subject to approval by the Admissions Committee.
