National University of Singapore (NUS) (Temporarily unavailable)
A leading global university centred in Asia, the National University of Singapore (NUS) was founded in 1905 as a modest medical college with 23 students. Today, Singapore’s flagship university spans three campuses in Kent Ridge, Bukit Timah and Outram, and is widely seen as among the best universities in Asia and the world.
NUS offers a distinctively Asian and global experience that is grounded in maximising the potential of students and their future-readiness. Our Halls of Residence and Residential Colleges located within the main Kent Ridge campus provide an affordable and safe living environment. Festive events and cultural activities are organised throughout the year by students and staff to add vibrancy to the exchange term. From Inter-Faculty sports games to music recitals, there is a wide array of artistic, cultural and sports opportunities to pursue.
From Singapore, it is also very easy to travel all around Asia. The trips I made were just as impressive, useful and informative as my time at the university. Definitely do not forget to look around while you’re there.
