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.
