  2. CURRICULUM OVERVIEW Three Levels of Study

  3. CURRICULUM OVERVIEW GRADING

  4. Local University Admission Framework • ELIGIBILITY • Passes in 2 H2 subjects • An attempt at General Paper or Knowledge & Inquiry at the same sitting. • Meet the Mother Tongue Language (MTL) requirement (one of the following): • - ‘S’ grade in H1 MTL • - ‘D7’ in Higher MTL at ‘O’ level • - ‘Pass’ in MT ‘B’

  5. Local University Admission Framework SELECTION OF APPLICANTS EITHER OR Faculty Score (Based on interviews, portfolios, reasoning & aptitude tests etc) University Score (100% A-Levels) + • Discretionary Intake (Up to 10% of Univ intake) • Based on strengths and talents, participation and achievement in academic or non-academic fields, including CCA , CIP participation and H3 grades. Independent of examination results.

  6. Subj for Counting in University Score • General Paper (GP) OR Knowledge & Inquiry (KI) • 3 H2 and 1 H1 Content Subjects One must be a contrasting subject • Project Work (PW) • Mother Tongue Mother Tongue grades (H1 MTL or ‘O’ Level HMT) may be submitted for consideration. However, MT ‘B’ results cannot earn any ‘A’ level points in the computation of the university score.

  7. COMPUTATION OF UNIVERSITY SCORE OR 3H2 + 1H1 + GP + PW (Maximum score of x points) 3H2 + 1H1 + GP + PW + MTL (Maximum score of x + y, rebased to x points)

  8. MOE Policy on Subject Combinations COMPULSORY SUBJECTS • General Paper OR Knowledge & Inquiry • Project Work • Mother Tongue (Those who sat for HMT at ‘O’ level and obtained a minimum grade of D7 for the subject can choose not to take MTL at H1 level).

  9. MOE Policy on Subject Combinations • Every student offers a combination of H1 / H2 / H3 subjects + MTL Number of Units Offered: Minimum (Norm): 9 + 1 (H1 MTL) Maximum: 11 + 1 (H1 MTL) • At least 4 content based (H1, H2) subjects, 3 of which must be at H2 level (excluding KI) and at least 1 must be contrasting. • At most 2 H3 subjects • H1 MTL unit cannot be replaced by another content unit (except H2 MTLL)

  10. Contrasting Subjects • In general, all subjects are classified into 4 categories • H2 Knowledge & Inquiry is a contrasting subject for both the Sciences & Mathematics group and Humanities & Arts group.

  11. Contrasting Subjects • All students not offering H2 Knowledge & Inquiry must offer a combination of H1 & H2 subjects from both the Sciences & Mathematics group and the Humanities and Arts group • H1 language subjects may NOT be used as a contrasting subject Examples of subject combinations:

  12. NJC Subject Combination Framework Maximum 11 units (H1, H2 subjects including GP/KI, PW, H1/H2 MTL) + 1 unit (H3 subject) Maximum 10 units (H1, H2 subjects including GP/KI, PW, H1/H2 MTL) + 2 units (H3 subjects) • All students with L1R5 equal or lower than the College’s cutoff point can offer the following combinations of H1, H2 and H3: EITHER OR

  13. NJC Subject Combination Framework • All students may not offer more than 4 H2 subjects • To offer the subject, students must meet the pre-requisites of the subject • Arts students can choose at most 1 H2 and 1 H1 Science & Mathematics subjects • Subject to time-table constraints • Subject to Humanities or AEP scholarship requirements

  14. NJC Subject Combination Framework Subject Combination Structures in NJC: Recommended • 4H2 + GP + PW + (H1 MTL) (10 + (1) units) • 3H2 + 1H1+ KI + PW + (H1 MTL) (10 + (1) units) Others • 3H2 + 2H1+ GP + PW + (H1 MTL) (10 + (1) units) • 3H2 + 1H1+ GP + PW + (H1 MTL) (9 + (1) units) • 3H2 + KI + PW + (H1 MTL) (9 + (1) units) Additional combination for students taking H2 MTLL • 3H2 + 1H1+ GP + PW + H2 MTL (9 + 2 units)

  15. Scholarship Requirements • To be eligible for PSC scholarships, a student must offer more than the norm units of subject combinations At least 10 units (H1, H2, H3 subjects including GP/KI, PW) + (1 unit) (H1 MTL. This is not required if already met criteria at ‘O’ level HMT) = 10 + (1) units or 11 + (1) units • H3 subjects and KI are not compulsory.

  16. NJC Subject Combinations Normal Combinations • Students are advised to select a combination from the list of normal subject combinations. Odd Combinations (Type 1) • Students are allowed to choose an odd combination that is not a normal combination provided it conforms to a structure allowed in NJC. We will try our best to offer your desired combination. In the event that your combination cannot be offered, we will contact you personally. Odd Combinations (Type 2) • Students who wish to offer an odd combination that does not conform to a structure allowed in NJC must make a special request with the College. (For example to offer more units of H1 and H2 subjects without H3)
