Another university launches new 2023 common curriculum

Another Singapore university has revamped its curriculum to better prepare students for the evolving world of work and give them more flexibility in their studies, writes Amelia Teng for The Straits Times.

The Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) announced on Tuesday 29 November a new set of 12 common modules that new full-time undergraduates will have to take from July 2023 as a result of a review of its curriculum in 2021. The new curriculum will apply to students from all schools – humanities and behavioural sciences, business, human development, science and technology – with the exception of law.

The modules, which cover topics like interdisciplinary processes, learning skills, digital and data literacy, creativity and wellness, are similar to other common courses that educational institutions like the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University have introduced in recent years. Professor Robbie Goh, provost of SUSS, said the university’s students will also have more space to take a minor or second major to give them more options for their careers.
