Hi everyone,

I’m an international student considering SUTD, especially DAI, ISTD, ESD, or EPD, and would like to have honest feedback from international students of SUTD (Current and graduated).

1. How intense is the academic workload in DAI / ISTD / ESD / EPD?
2. How strong is the coding and AI preparation compared to other Singapore universities?
3. How easy or difficult is it for international students to get internships in Singapore?
4. Are employment outcomes strong after graduation for international student?
5. How manageable is the MOE Tuition Grant 3-year bond after graduation?
6. Advice for an international applicant planning for the 2027 intake

Would you recommend SUTD overall, and would you choose it again? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply to HKUST for undergraduate admission for the 2027 intake as an international A-Level student.

If I submit my application around December 2026, when would be the deadline to accept the offer if I get admitted?

Also:

• How much time does HKUST usually give to accept the offer?
• Does the acceptance deadline differ for scholarship offers or competitive majors like CS?

Would really appreciate hearing from current students or past applicants. Thanks!
