  • Students who are unable to make it on the travel dates are advised not to take this module.
  • Students will be asked to sign an indemnity form.
  • Depending on the travel bubble available, Prof will select a city. Thus, there are many uncertainties, including doing a virtual TSM with no travel or going to a city you may not be expecting. However, you are expected to meet the following requirements.
    • Requirement for the travel bubble {ABC Aus Lockoff until 2022 MoF Australia CNA Highly Uncertain Straits Times Travel Advisories}
    • The cost of the trip is expected to be S$5,500+ for double room excluding personal expenditure and some meals (No cost if there is no trip). This does not include any travel bubble related cost such as Covid-19 travel insurance, vaccine, Covid-19 test, quarantine cost if test fail, etc. Full payment is required in week 3.
    • Students must contribute to petty cash fund $500, included in the estimate (not applicable if no trip).
    • No TA. We will not have a TA to reduce cost of the travel. Thus, students are expected to contribute to planning and organizing the trip.
  • Subsidy: NOTE you can only apply for one of the subsidy below (cannot double or co-claim)
    1. Enhanced iPrep handbook C Overseas Exposure Programmes (On hold due to Covid-19)

      • Upon completion of the OEP, students can claim a prorated allowance of up to S$1,200 per month for the duration of the overseas programme (“Cost of Living Allowance”) and funding support towards the cost of economy-class return airfare (“Airfare Allowance). Total aggregate sum of the Cost of Living Allowance and Airfare Allowance shall not exceed S$2,000 for each student. (eg Based on 25 Apr-3 May, the max Cost of Living Allowance applicable is S$356.13 + airticket is S$1.8k = max $2,000)
      • You can only submit claim for ONE overseas exposure programme (excluding overseas internship) within the candidature period of your degree.
