1. Introduction
311 Programme is a joint educational framework collaborated by NUSRI/NUS/Partner Universities. Under the framework, suitable Year 3 candidates with good academic standing from partner universities will be selected to spend a bridging period at NUSRI during their fourth year, i.e. for the first “+1” year. This immersion prepares them both in the aspect of English writing and communication skill as well as specialised knowledge, before they can apply for M.Sc. admission, i.e. for the second “+1” year. The time schedule of the entire framework is depicted as below.
