NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)
-
that’s what i thought too … direct entry from NUSH into NUS, provided the Diploma grades of the child has met the minimum target entry requirements.
of course if don’t meet then no need to say lah!
but if chld manage to meet the minimum number of distinction grades + pass the panel of interviewers (for admission into certain faculty like dentistry, medicine, law faculty) , then shouldn’t NUS give priority to NUSH graduates first, then those candidates from RI / HCI, plus other junior colleges pouring out at that time?
otherwise, what is the meaning when you say NUSH is affliated to NUS ! how - in what way is it being affliated ? -

why no direct admission for NUSH students into NUS ? after all NUSH is affiliated to NUS; isn't it unfair ?
IF there is direct admission to NUS, then it will not be fair to the rest of the students who are not from NUSH. -

We have access to a large number of NUS research projects and undergraduate courses. -
Did any kids drop out of NUSH? I heard from my son’s classmate that a kid dropped out of NUSH for whatever reason.
-
both NUSH and SST emphasise on Maths and Science.
a) what then is the difference in curriculum covered between these two schools ?
b) SST kids also receive diploma after 6 yrs ? -
SST is 4 years only, and they take O levels.

SST is under ngee ann poly, not an IP school

still confused over NUSH and SST … SST part not very clear.
- seems like NUSH leads to NUS eventually (more theoretical based, more research oriented),
- whereas SST (more practical based, more hands on oriented) leads to polytechnic first, then to NTU eventually.
wonder if half way through got students:-
- transfer out of NUSH go into SST, and
- vice versa, transfer out of SST go to NUSH.
after all, both also focus on Maths and Science. It’s just different approach in learning. -

http://www.njc.edu.sg/education_h3.htm[/quote]Yes, but here it is integrated into the curriculum and available as an opportunity to all students – indeed, it is recommended and expected for many. It goes beyond the H3 programme in this respect. Hence the 70-over NUS High projects in the SSEF, for instance.
