To help us to understand you better, please fill up your particulars here!

  • Students who are unable to make it on the travel dates are advised not to take this module.
  • Students enrolling for the course will be required to pay the full fee of approximately S$5200 for the cost of boarding, lodging and the airfare by week 6. We will try to reduce the cost, possibly planning the trip without a travel agent.
  • Students must contribute to petty cash fund approximately $300 for company token and other trip welfare.
  • 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. However, we have HUANG XianHui (GO) to help us out.
