Sports Excellence Programme (SPEX)
The NUS Sports Excellence Programme aims to bring out the best in our student athletes. Our Varsity Teams actively participate in game series against other institutes of higher learning (Universities, Polytechnics & Institute of Technical Education) and national competitions.

Teams that perform well locally have the opportunities to compete overseas (ASIAN/ASEAN/ASIA PACIFIC/INDIAN RIM ASIAN University Games) as well as participate in sports exchange with other universities.

Local Competition
The IVP Games, SUniG, and Institutional Invitations are the main competitions for the NUS sports teams. These are where the University athletes pitch their skills with student athletes of the other institutions of higher learning (Universities, Polytechnics & ITE).

The objectives of the these Games series are:
