NUS College Dean Professor Simon Chesterman and his Vice Deans share their plans and aspirations for the college.
Consider it the best of both worlds. When the new NUS College (NUSC) admits its first intake of up to 400 students for the academic year of 2022/2023, it will be the result of a partnership between the University Scholars Programme (USP), known for its innovative spirit; and Yale-NUS College (YNC), the founding liberal arts college in Singapore. Students from disciplines across NUS can benefit from their combined heritage and more at NUSC. Graduates will earn a degree from their home college, faculty or school and also the NUSC certificate.
At NUSC, students will get to learn across boundaries and collaborate with a diverse community of local and international students from 50 majors. They will also benefit from small-group seminar-style classes and a compulsory residential experience of at least two years in University Town, which will provide a living and learning environment for them to express, explore and challenge themselves. Students will also be mentored by an academic team of local and international talents who are visionaries in their respective fields.
