Our Heritage

Starting out in 1905 as a small medical college, NUS in 2005 is internationally acknowledged as a global university of high standing by no less an authority than the Times Higher Education Supplement. This big leap is a testament to generations of academics and students who have passed through the portals of the University as well as those of its predecessor institutions.

Their contributions and achievements are captured in broad strokes in the pages here. A hundred years of such milestones make up the hallmark of excellence that has become an NUS tradition, one which the University continuously strives to uphold each day.
