Cross-Disciplinary Subjects (CDS) are elective subjects which allow you to study other areas of interest outside your own area of specialisation. For each CDS you pass, you get credit units (CUs) towards your graduation requirements.

It is compulsory for you to have credits units from 3 or more Cross-Disciplinary Subjects in order to graduate from TP.

Yes. You will get to select the Cross-Disciplinary Subjects (CDS) you are interested in studying via an online selection process. You will select your CDS one semester before the semester that you actually take the CDS. You will be duly informed of the selection period for each semester.

You can begin taking a Cross-Disciplinary Subjects (CDS) in your second semester of study at TP. CDS sessions are time-tabled and are usually held during normal school hours ie, from 8.00am to 6.00pm However some lectures and field trips may take place outside these times eg, in the evening after 6.00pm.

You have the option to either retake the Temasek Humanities & Social Sciences School Cross-Disciplinary Subjects (CDS), up to a maximum of two attempts, or select another CDS. In other words, you are allowed to choose another CDS if you fail the same Temasek Humanities & Social Sciences School CDS twice. There will be no supplementary examination or assessment.
