Will backlogs or academic gaps affect my eligibility for admission in Singapore for a Master's?
It depends. In Singapore, master's programs set their own policies on backlogs and academic gaps - some are flexible, others are strict.
With a 7.24 GPA in Architecture and 24 months of work experience, you generally meet core academic and professional criteria for most architecture-related master's programs.
However:
- Backlogs: Some universities may allow a small number, especially if your overall academic record and work experience are strong.
- Academic gaps: Short gaps are often acceptable if justified by work or relevant activities.
Final eligibility will depend on each university’s specific policies. For a clear assessment based on your profile, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
