7 things to know about NUS:

#1. First things first (rankings)

Whether you think the numbers are important or not, they make a great introduction. So – 1st in Asia. 11th in the world. But that’s far from the only thing that sets us apart.

#2. Majoring in what you love is totally possible

Going after your passion? Or trying something new? 60 bachelor’s degrees, 54 second majors and 30 major-minor options mean there’s always something you want.

#3. Grades don’t (always) matter

Like when you are still getting used to university life. The Grade-Free First Year scheme gives you the license to figure out what you like at your own pace.

#4. The world is out here (on campus)

As the 7th most international university in the world, it’s little wonder that our campus is a cultural melting pot. But there’s always room for more.

#5. The programmes are future-proof

Cross-disciplinary is just one part of it. There’s also the Centre for Future-ready Graduates that gets you ready for the future. Fact: our graduates are the 9th most employable worldwide.

#6. Being enterprising is encouraged

Everyone likes a good global experience. How about adding a dose of entrepreneurship to it? You can – study and intern with a start-up at 11 NUS Overseas College locations worldwide.

#7. You’ll get to play safe – literally

In the 2nd safest city in the world, it’s hard to do it any other way. But you know the drill. Stay alert. But don’t stay out too late – when you have class the next morning!
