INTRODUCTION

H3 subjects are meant to allow exceptionally strong students to pursue a subject or area in which they have the interest and aptitude. Besides passion for a particular subject, students must have the time to manage a workload beyond the norm subject combination as H3 subjects have separate syllabuses that take students beyond the H2 syllabus.

Students can apply for H3 subject offered by either UCLES, SMU, NUS, NTU or NAV. The maximum number of H3 subjects allowed is 2. The total number of Academic Units offered by students cannot exceed 12. See FAQ for further information.
