About NUS120:
The National University of Singapore celebrates its 120th anniversary in 2025, commemorating a legacy, forged over generations, of excellence, innovation and service.

As Singapore’s first higher education institution and its flagship university, NUS has been instrumental in nurturing generations of leaders and visionaries who have shaped the nation and beyond. Our 120th anniversary offers a singular milestone to look back on this storied history, while re-affirming our continuing mission to shape the future.

In our line-up of programmes and events for NUS120, we hope to celebrate the legacy and contributions of an institution uniquely established by the community for the community, since our founding in 1905.
