<p>Yeah I’m studying in NUS right now, double-majoring in Economics and Political Science. The Common Engineering programme is also 4 years long, if I’m not mistaken. </p>
<p>I think if you’re very committed, a double degree should be manageable. NUS engineering can be quite tough though, especially in the first year, so you might want to consider that when planning for your double major/degree. Luckily, while NUS can be quite stubborn about not letting you change your primary major, you have plenty of freedom choosing a second major/degree- as long as you have good grades you can design your own double degree. That means you can start off as a single major and decide later to do a double degree.</p>
<p>Btw, the distinction between double major/double degree/minor is not always obvious, so I have listed down the info below:</p>
<p>Minor- You’ve to do 6 modules (or its equivalent) in the subject
Double major- 12 modules in the second major
Double degree- 15 modules for the second degree
Double degree (with honours)- The equivalent of 25 modules in the second degree. This is the hardest of the lot, as you have to do two honours projects, and you’ll almost certainly have to stay in school for 5 years. The plus side is that you’re an expert in both your fields :)</p>
