  • 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 {MoF Australia Thailand CNA Taiwan Highly Uncertain Straits Times Travel Advisories}
    • The cost of the trip is expected to be S$4,300+ for double room excluding personal expenditure and some meals. This does not include any vaccine or Covid-19 test (quarantine cost if test fail). Full payment is required in week 3.
    • Students must contribute to petty cash fund $300, included in the estimate.
    • 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.

      • 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)
