Thanks for the video andrew!!
Thank you for this video ! Like all the comments have highlighted, this video was really informative and concise ! It especially helped me with understanding the different modules offered and I enjoyed your review of the professors also !! Thank you so much and I appreciate the time and effort you have put in to make this video and help out students who are lost :D Thank you
Thank you for this informative video🌿
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video Andrew. Could you share more on what you do on a daily basis in your current job and how relevant is the degree to your job?
Hello Cactus thanks for asking, I'll add that into my video plans! For a start, I do lots of data analysis and project coordination stuff with team members, presenting my findings and listening to others over calls. The degree is definitely useful in terms of building mental stamina, but content-wise I rarely find applications. Only once I did and it solved a weird problem no one could, that's a story for another day haha
Hi Andrew,
I am from Vietnam. I want to study MSc in Economics. Which school should i consider ? I want to know more in applied economics.
Thank you.
Hi andrew, thanks for this insight video. Could you maybe share more about the admission process eg the interview/tests to get in NUS econs?
I had no interview or tests to get into them. I just declared it as my major and I started attending classes!
Hi Andrew, thank you so much for this insightful video.
I am currently a year 2 economics major in NUS as well and your module reviews and tips in this video are very helpful. I saw that you are a mentor on The Advisory Mentorship Programme for this year and I have applied to be your mentee. I hope that we have the chance to connect and I look forward to speaking with you if possible!
Hello Denzel thanks for popping by, glad it's been helpful to you. Looking forward to our chats!
Hey !!!! I am trying to apply at NUS next year in economics for my undergraduate . Can you just share me your experiences i would like to chat with you so that it could help me make my further decisions.
You can just tell me your social media account i will msg
@@Sanobarasif Sure feel free to DM me on instagram instagram.com/andrewtoh93/
A really informative video!
thank you friend, which part helped you the most?
@@andrewtoh6627 All parts added value together! but if i have to choose one then the "Types of Modules" as it summed up the remaining of the video too somewhat. Also, I'm currently doing IGCSE and i want to do A levels so that i get to study abroad(Singapore maybe).What other universities would you recommend for economics with a tuition fee of less than $15000 max?
@Dhwaaneet Vislot thanks for your feedback, study hard and wish you best exam results so you could choose a good university to study. You could look at another University in Singapore called NTU, SUTD, SUSS where you could find a degree course that leads to career paths too.
Hi may I know like if most of the people in nus econs got straight As for A levels ? As in do they accept people without straights As as well?
I didn't get straight As, but I believe most people at least got some As
Hi Andrew! What app did you use to edit the video?
Hi Aditya, I used Final Cut Pro on Mac and motion graphics from videohive
Hi Andrew, may I know if there is a potential for graduates like you to switch to the data science industry?
we learn the base theories of data science and offer advancement paths into data science careers.
Do you need edexcel Alevel maths for economics? The website says you need an year 12 pass for mathematics and im very confused about it as an internation student or will my Cambridge Olevel Maths pass be enough for the subject pre-requisite? Thanks in advance!
Yes I believe it is needed because Economics uses a lot of math so it's highly recommended that you pass advanced math. O level math is good but may not be sufficient. You could try writing into the university admissions office, they're friendly!
@@andrewtoh6627 hi are you foreigner or local? Because NS can hinder our nus study momentum if we are local. I scored poorly in nus thanks to NS.
Is it easy to get admission for international studies in NUS particularly for Indian students ?
Hello I think you can try applying as the school should consider every application based on merit and I don't think there is any nationality bias.
Alright
Good to know that
Thank you 😊
Hi Andrew,
I am applying for MSc Economics at NUS without GMAT. Does not having GMAT can lower my chance? I either don't have Economics as major in my Bachelor's.
hello Shayaan I think standardized test scores should improve your chances. If you did well in math, chances are better as Economics require quite a lot of math! Good luck with your application!
@@andrewtoh6627 but it is not given in admission requirements that GMAT is recommended.
Could you please also let me know that how much time does NUS take to respond to application?
@@Traddy290 how did your application go? May i ask?
Hi Andrew, would like to ask if you think a laptop is necessary for nus econs, and if so, how often will I use it + is a macbook okay 😅
Hello Gaius, I've seen students using laptop for slides and a pen&paper to note down stuff. Generally we need a flexible note taking system as we need to draw graphs and write math equations fast. So pen&paper has an advantage here.
@@andrewtoh6627 Ah, actually my main concern was that some econs modules might involve programming 😅Were there any compulsory programming modules during your time in NUS?
@@retropetroleum There is hardly any, at most it's just a small assignment where we need to submit a code for STATA, a statistical analysis software. And the code was just a few lines. In econometrics class, we are expected to know how to write a few lines of code to use the software and analyze data. Compared to computing school, the amount of programming in economics is small.
@@retropetroleum the level of programming needed in economics is small compared to school of computing. There are a few assignments on using the statistical software STATA which we write code for, especially in Econometrics (statistics for economics) but beyond that there isn't a dedicated module for just that. For a deeper analysis of data, more STATA code is needed, but it is pretty simple to learn.
@@andrewtoh6627 Alright, thank you so much!
Hi Andrew,
Thank you for making this video. I want to apply for Master in Economics in NUS for coming intake of 2022. I have completed Bachelor of Business Administration, a three years course, form India. Whether I am eligible to apply for this course? Please help me out regarding this.
Check out the office of Admissions website and send them a query. When you show strong interest, I'm sure they would consider giving you a spot!
@@andrewtoh6627 Thank you so much for your reply.
Hello, may i ask? How did your application go? Did you have gmat?
Hi Andrew! Fellow NUS Econs junior here! :) How did the mods you took helped u in ur internship & career? Saw from ur Linkedin that you work in the finance industry.
Oh and btw why did u switch from Env studies to Econs ?
hey Tracie thanks for your questions, the mods helped me to work better in a team. Not so much of the content, as much as we like to apply what we learn, but more of the soft skills gained from modules that mattered more. About env studies, I cut that one out of this video as I thougth nobody would be interested, so yeah actually I took that one because it was a new degree (who likes new stuff?) and a multidisciplinary degree (sounds cool!), but eventually I learnt that it's like a biology / geography major which didn't fit my interests well. But the mods credits didn't go to waste as just nice they fulfilled the unrestricted elective modules I have to take. Phew! Guess what, one of them was Intro to Economics EC1301! Thanks for your questions and I hope to answer them more in a future video.
@@andrewtoh6627 Thanks Andrew!!!
