Curiosity Meets Impact

CURIOSITY MEETS IMPACT

At NUSC Summer School, ‘What if?’ sparks the beginning of an extraordinary journey.

They will make connections between diverse disciplines, learn from skill-building workshops, participate in collaborative team challenges, and go on field excursions — designed to make them equipped for future challenges, from analytical thinking to leadership in real-world scenarios.

Break Open The Classroom This Summer

As an academically rigorous, interdisciplinary honours programme within the National University of Singapore (NUS), the NUS College Summer School provides the unique glimpse of a university experience that pushes boundaries. We offer opportunities to investigate practical challenges, introducing students to a variety of skills required to address them, which will last well beyond the event itself.

Students get to experience staying at a residential college and be part of a diverse community in NUS’s Kent Ridge campus. There is a variety of dining experiences ranging from eating catered food in the dining hall to buying your own food in the canteens.

You will also have a unique opportunity to embark on field excursions outside the classroom, such as visiting the sites of Impact Experience Projects which is a required, capstone course for NUS College students who work in interdisciplinary teams to collaborate with non-profit partners and innovate future solutions for the benefit of communities and society.
