Outgoing Exchange Students

SEP Clinic  

Thinking of going on exchange and but not sure how to start planning? Ever feel like you just need a peer or a senior who can give some advice or just someone to hear you out?

NUS Peer Advising is here to help you! We're a team of students from different faculties who have all gone on exchange at various destinations before. We've been through the motions of planning where to go, to applying, to module mapping, and right down to the whole new experience of living abroad!

We will be starting a SEP Drop in clinic where you will have the chance to speak to peers who can give advice and help you. We're always willing to listen! The process of preparing for exchange can be a bit daunting at times, but we are more than glad to give you guys a helping hand!

Date and Time: Please check back here for details about our SEP drop in clinics.  In the meantime, please feel free to contact us: PALs Contact Details.
