At NUSC Summer School, pre-university students aged 16 to 18 years old are immersed in interdisciplinary inquiry and global citizenship.
In one transformative week, students dive into taster seminars and hands-on projects, guided by inspiring university faculty and surrounded by like-minded peers.
They will make connections between diverse disciplines, learn from skill-building workshops, participate in collaborative team challenges, and go on field excursions — designed to equip them with future readiness, from analytical thinking to leadership in real-world scenarios.

As an academically rigorous, interdisciplinary honours programme within the National University of Singapore (NUS), NUS College provides the unique glimpse of a university experience that pushes boundaries.
At NUS College Summer School, we offer opportunities to investigate practical challenges, introducing students to a variety of skills required to address them, which will last well beyond the one-week programme.
NUS College Summer School students get to experience staying at a residential college and be part of a diverse community in NUS’s Kent Ridge campus. Whether they are debating ideas over dinner in the dining hall or exploring the campus, they will discover that the community is the curriculum.
Students will also embark on curated field excursions outside the classroom. Our experiential learning approach lets students connect the dots between what they read in class and what they see in the world.
