INTRODUCTION
• The introduction of General Studies Modules (GSMs) is one of NYP’s strategic initiatives to strengthen the curriculum so as to “develop the ALL rounder graduate”.
• The key objective of GSMs is to prepare our graduates for the industry, and for further education and lifelong learning.
• This is achieved by developing in our students the desired characteristics including a creative and inquiring mindset, good communication skills, an awareness of global issues, flexibility and adaptability to work environment and living a healthy lifestyle. • GSMs seek to offer students with better appreciation and broader interest in areas beyond their course of study.

INSTRUCTIONS TO STUDENTS
• Year 1, 2 and 3 students will be offered GSMs in 2015S1. • Students are required to do GSMs from different clusters of modules.
• Students are required to complete the required number of GSM credits before graduation.
• Students are required to register their preferred GSMs online via myNYP portal on designated dates. • Registration is on a first‐come‐first‐served basis as long as the vacancy is available.
