Where Can SUSS Students Find Work-Study Degree (WSDeg) Requirements?

Start with SUSS’s Work Study Degree Programme page. Check your matriculated programme against the approved-major list and confirm the academic and non-academic prerequisites.

The application guidance separates students from intake 2023 onwards, under Career Development, from intake 2022 and before. Use the branch matching your own intake. If you have not yet entered SUSS, WSDeg information does not replace the university’s separate undergraduate admission process.

Read the CDO381 Work-Study and Industry Readiness description alongside that guidance. It describes 12 months of on-the-job training with a host organisation, an Industry Applied Project and 30 credit units. Then use SUSS Career Development to clarify the current process for your programme and cohort.

What needs confirming before a work-study commitment?

There are two connected conversations: whether the role meets university requirements, and whether the actual work and study arrangement is manageable for you.

Confirm your programme and cohort first

SUSS requires a full-time internship related to the approved major and an Industry Applied Project. A suitable-sounding job title is not confirmation that the role meets those conditions.

Send a focused enquiry identifying your degree, major, intake and intended work-study period. Ask which approval steps you must complete before committing. If you are still an applicant, our SUSS full-time admission source guide covers that earlier, separate decision.

Ask what the workplace role will let you learn

CDO381 connects practical experience with real projects, mentorship, performance goals and reflection. Read it as a description of assessed learning, not simply time spent at work. Think about which tasks would let you apply ideas from your major and explain what you have learned.

Prepare questions for a prospective host: what might a normal week involve, who would supervise learning, and what kind of project could be discussed with SUSS? These are planning questions, not a substitute for the university confirming the role’s suitability.

Keep opportunity sourcing separate from approval

SUSS says students may self-source a company or explore opportunities through its career portal. Finding a role through either route does not remove the need to meet the programme’s conditions. Use the current Career Development page to locate student support and portal access.

Our broader university internship source guide explains the employer-offer versus academic-approval distinction. For WSDeg, return to SUSS’s specific requirements rather than borrowing another institution’s internship rules.

Plan study around the full-time work commitment

The WSDeg FAQ allows concurrent course registration but advises a restrained study load because of full-time work. Discuss a realistic plan with the relevant adviser. Permission to register for courses and the capacity to complete them well are different checks.

Did you know that a weekly plan can reveal questions a programme title hides? Sketch working hours, travel, classes, preparation and rest. Mark assessment periods before choosing additional modules. Our course-registration source guide helps locate registration instructions; SUSS determines what counts towards your own degree.

What is my next step?

Open the WSDeg page and CDO381 description with your degree and intake details available. Ask Career Development which eligibility, placement and academic steps apply to you now.

After receiving the current instructions, align the proposed role, project and study plan with them. Keep approvals and registration outcomes together before treating the arrangement as confirmed.

Explore the connected learning guides

Choose the question that brought you here. Open one useful guide, try a small task, and stop when you have what you need.

Take one question further

The same learning habit can travel across subjects, while each subject keeps its own methods. These routes help you notice a difficulty, understand one part of it, and return to something you can do.

A word is familiar, but using it is difficult.

Move from recognising a word to retrieving it in a new context. Understand vocabulary plateaus.

Try it without the guide: Choose one word you already know. Close the guide and use it in a new sentence. Explain why it fits; try another context tomorrow.

A piece of writing has ideas, but the reader loses the thread.

Make the order of events and the links between sentences clear. Explore composition writing.

Try it without the guide: Choose one short paragraph. Read the relevant explanation, close it, and revise the paragraph. Ask someone to tell you what happened and why.

The Mathematics seems familiar, but marks still disappear.

Find the first point where the working stops being reliable. Find Secondary 4 A-Math mark leakage.

Try it without the guide: For a Secondary 4 A-Math question you have attempted, locate the first uncertain line. Repair that step, then try a comparable question without the worked answer.

A Science fact is remembered, but the explanation is incomplete.

Connect the evidence to a scientific idea and the resulting change. Follow the Primary Science learning route.

Try it without the guide: Choose a familiar Primary Science example. Explain the evidence, the idea and the result without notes. Then change one condition and explain your prediction.

Two accounts of the world seem to disagree.

Check the question, source, date and evidence before combining claims. Explore the World Knowledge research library.

Try it without the guide: Take one claim. Find the source best placed to support it, note its date, and state what remains uncertain. Return to your original question.

There is plenty of help, but independence is hard to see.

Check what the learner can understand and do after support is removed. Understand how education works.

Try it without the guide: Choose one small task the child has practised. Agree on a calm, brief attempt without prompts. Use what happens to choose one next step, then stop.

For the structure behind these connections, read the eduKateSingapore runtime manifest and the eduKate ecosystem boot contract. The reader map describes public navigation; those manifests preserve the wider ownership and return rules.
