The Department currently runs undergraduate exchanges with the CentraleSupelec (formerly known as Ecole Centrale Paris) and the National University of Singapore. Cambridge students spend their third year abroad and an equivalent number of students come here.

Exchange with CentraleSupelec Paris (CSP)

An exchange scheme was set up between CUED and CentraleSupélec (CS) in 2008. CentraleSupélec is one of the prestigious "Grandes Ecoles" in France and offers a range of courses similar to those given at CUED. We expect to be able to offer up to 4 places on this scheme again in the coming academic year.

Exchange with National University of Singapore (NUS)

Overview

Up to two places are offered for Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering students to spend the third year of their degree at NUS. 

The course at NUS starts in July and ends in May of the following year. Exchange students will be assessed at NUS (by a combination of examinations, coursework and project work) and, subject to a satisfactory performance (i.e., the equivalent to a Cambridge third class honours or above) will be deemed to have deserved honours at Part IIA.  Note that, as with students participating in the other exchanges, students do not receive a degree classification for their third year.

Students applying for the exchange programme:

  • must be available from mid July, when the course starts, until it finishes in May of the following year.
  • should normally have obtained at least a II.1 at Part IA of the Engineering course and be expected to do likewise at Part IB.
  • should be open to experiencing a different culture and different style of education.
  • should not normally be natives of Singapore or of a country with a closely related culture. This is because the exchange would not represent an 'international experience' to the same extent for such students.

Courses at NUS are given in English so there is no linguistic requirement for the exchange.
