Free Choice of Major

Students admitted to the PRIME programme are free to choose their majors upon accepting the offer. They will be enrolled in one of the departments before starting their first year of study. For departments offering a single major, students will be enrolled in the major in the first year. In the case of departments offering more than one major, students will be admitted to the department in their first year and enroled in their pre-selected major in subsequent years.

One-on-one Mentorship

Each student will be paired with a faculty member who will provide personalised guidance and support throughout the programme. The faculty mentor will help the student identify their academic and professional goals, develop a plan to achieve them, and provide feedback and guidance along the way.

Overseas Experience in Year 3 or Year 4

1. One-year Research Internship: Selected students will have the opportunity to work with leading researchers in their field at one of the top overseas universities. This will provide students with hands-on experience in cutting-edge research and will help them develop essential skills in data analysis, experimental design, and scientific communication.
2. Global Work Placement: Selected students may also have the opportunity to be placed in an international company in North America (US, Canada), Europe (France, Germany, Switzerland, etc.), and other developed countries (Israel, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, etc.)  to gain work experience and apply their engineering skills in a real-world setting. This will enable students to build their professional network, develop communication skills, and gain invaluable industry experience.

Interdisciplinary Final-year Project

Leveraging faculty members' diverse research expertise and state-of-the-art research facilities, students will receive support to conduct interdisciplinary research in their final-year projects, offering valuable experience for their future professional endeavours.
