The Applied Studies Programme is a multi-disciplinary progrme that allows students to customise the curriculum and read courses according to their needs. Students may pick courses from one of many fields of study, with the resulting programme being specialised or multi-disciplinary in nature. The Applied Studies Programme offers a vast selection of courses from the humanities to the sciences, ranging from machine learning and fintech, to human resource management and design thinking courses.


No other tertiary programme offers you the range of courses like SUSS does, from our four schools, over 30 programmes and more than 700 courses to choose from. Many of these courses are unrestricted by discipline or level. With the Applied Studies Programme, you are the architect of your course of study.

As part of SUSS's commitment to lifelong learning, the Applied Studies Programme is strongly aligned with the university's social mission of 'inclusive opportunities' by creating pathways for people from all backgrounds.
