 From a modest medical school founded in 1905, NUS has evolved into Singapore’s global university and is regarded as one of the premier universities in the world, with distinctive strengths in education and research and an entrepreneurial dimension.
Sprawling over three campuses, NUS, with 14 faculties and schools, offers a comprehensive range of disciplines ranging from architecture to medicine and music. The NUS student community comprises a cosmopolitan mix of over 32,000 students from 88 countries, contributing to a lively and thriving campus life.
NUS provides a holistic education aimed at fully developing the intellectual and personal strengths of her students, through challenging project work and an environment conducive to sparking off ideas and imagination. NUS also enjoys a close teaching-research association with 14 national-level, 18 university-level and more than 80 faculty-based research institutes and centres. Research activities are strategic and robust, and a ‘no walls’ collaborative culture forms the bedrock of NUS’ research-intensive vibrancy.
An exciting development at NUS is the University Town - a vibrant and dynamic global residential community of academics and students, engaging in learning and discovery, scheduled to be ready by 2010. It is envisaged that the eight residential colleges, able to house around 6,000 students, will be a hub where students can live, work and play.
Looking ahead, NUS seeks to become a world-class university in its strive for excellence. Strongly committed to advancing knowledge, educating students and nurturing talent in the service of country and society, it also actively fosters a spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation so as to promote creative enterprise university-wide.
