UWC stands for United World College of South East Asia.
its an international school that provides British education.
its the 2nd largest overseas school in Singapore, with the largest being my school (the Singapore American School).
my friend from UWC was my sect comm during BMT.
you can imagine just how slack my BMT life was.

UWC is a school. The army might have collaborations with them to offer certain courses for regulars to attend. This should be pretty common. I've seen regulars going to polytechnics or unis for 1 day or short period courses all the time.Originally posted by strado:What does the UWC means?

I had a few BMT mates from UWC and SAS. Two of whom were the most motivated soldiers I've ever known.

Thats because all your modules are 4AU right? Mine 2 of them are 4AUs, the rest re 3Aus totally to 20 AUs which is not consider overload since overload is 24 AUs.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Oh.. because 6 is considered overloading here in NUS. -
Yeap.. I foresee a heavier workload when the hons modules come in next sem.. stacks and stacks piling up.Originally posted by dkcx:Thats because all your modules are 4AU right? Mine 2 of them are 4AUs, the rest re 3Aus totally to 20 AUs which is not consider overload since overload is 24 AUs.
But then again, I'm looking forward to seminars instead of the lecture/tutorial system. -
