The reply to a query to USP on doing 3 CBMs (Course-Based Modules):


"Dear Gabriel,

The flexibility in the revamped Advanced Curriculum is to let students do more of the ISMs if they want to, but not the other way around. Hence, you may not read 3 CBMs and 1 ISM.

As I also note that you are from FASS, you may wish to know that FASS only allows their USP students to do 2 ISMs (same as in the previous Advanced Curriculum) due to manpower constraints. It is possible for you to apply to read a 3rd ISM only if you meet certain conditions. You will be able to find more information on this at the FASS's USP website:

Hope this helps."


Oh well.
