In addition, preference will be given to candidates who meet one or more of the following:

• Evidence of research, written output (e.g., publications) or industrial experience in professional or business communication.

Applications are processed before each semester of the academic year. The NUS academic year, which consists of two semesters, begins in August and ends in April the following year (first semester Aug–Nov; second semester Jan–Apr).
