National University of Singapore (NUS) offers a distinctively Asian and global experience that is grounded in maximising the potential of students and their future-readiness, and broad-based research excellence that enables beneficial translation.

NUS is also highly regarded for the hallmark rigour and breadth of its academic programmes, innovative entrepreneurship education, and experiential learning. Learning across faculties and disciplines is highly valued and practised, with other cross-disciplinary initiatives available for a well-rounded knowledge base and transferable skills.

Undergraduates will learn countless lessons during their NUS journey. Steeped in an inquisitive culture, students will be nurtured and inspired by pre-eminent thought leaders to think critically and creatively while working synergistically with their peers.

NUS' numerous overseas programmes underscore the global nature of education offered by the University. These expeditions of varying lengths expose participants to a wide range of economic realities and challenges and enable them to experience firsthand how other cultures live, work and play.

Accentuating NUS' transformative global education are programmes that facilitate the pursuit of more than a single degree at a time. Students may choose to do a Concurrent, Double or Joint Degree offered either solely by the University or in collaboration with several of its distinguished partner universities from around the world.
