NUS College, Singapore’s first honours college, celebrated its official launch at the National University of Singapore (NUS) today. The College, which welcomed its pioneer batch of first-year students in August last year, is the University’s third and latest interdisciplinary college to further expand interdisciplinary learning opportunities for undergraduate students.

NUS College has designed a broad-based interdisciplinary common curriculum with small class-size teaching. Fully integrated into the larger NUS ecosystem, its students have access to the full range of majors, minors, specialisations and other programmes, as well as facilities and opportunities across the university. The College takes in around 6% to 7% of each year’s incoming undergraduate cohort across the whole of NUS and offers a rich, personalised experience for students, with a strong residential component.

NUS President, Professor Tan Eng Chye, said, “NUS College was set up as a new school within the National University of Singapore to offer students more opportunities for interdisciplinary academic rigour with a strong focus on real-world knowledge and skills, as well as the ability to apply them outside the classroom. I am heartened to see that the College has made a strong start, with students from diverse academic, socio-economic and cultural backgrounds living, learning and growing together.”
