Study in Singapore!

  • Best described as a microcosm of modern Asia, Singapore is a melting pot of culture and history, and an extravaganza of culinary delights. Officially known as the Republic of Singapore, it is both a city and a country located in Southeast Asia. One of Asia's most visited destinations, Singapore is best described as an amalgam of a fast-paced life.
  • As a leading global university centred in Asia and a flagship university in Singapore, the National University of Singapore (NUS) offers a global approach to education and research, with a focus on Asian perspectives and expertise. Established in 1905, NUS currently comprise three campuses at Kent Ridge, Bukit Timah and Outram with 16 Colleges, Faculties and Schools. NUS cater to a diverse community of 50,000, of which 38,000 are undergraduate and graduate students from over 100 countries.
