Overview

Unlike the existing single discipline-based degrees, this degree will feature two distinct majors within an innovative new structure. As such this is a fully conceived double-disciplinary degree. Each major will have equal weightage. Students will be admitted into this Double Major degree programme at the point of entry to NTU, and declare their two majors at this point.During this four-year degree programme, undergraduates will read both Chinese (CHN) and Philosophy (PHIL), benefiting from the expertise and resources of the two disciplines from the School of Humanities (SoH). Philosophy and Chinese degree is offered at Nanyang Technological University.
