NUS Overseas College (NOC) Programme
Designed to cultivate dynamic and resourceful entrepreneurs, the NUS Overseas Colleges (NOC) immerse students in the most
entrepreneurial hubs in the world. Students who are selected spend up to one year in these
hubs, working as full-time interns in high-tech start-ups or innovative companies,
and are given opportunities to learn directly from the founders and entrepreneurs
in these start-ups. At the same time, the students take entrepreneurship-related
or discipline-based courses at renowned partner universities at these overseas locations.
There are currently seven NUS Overseas Colleges in the United States, China, Sweden,
India and Israel.
