NUS faculty, staff and students are gearing up to welcome thousands of prospective students, parents and families expected to visit the NUS Open House this weekend (17 and 18 March) at the NUS Sports and Recreation Centre (SRC) on the University’s Kent Ridge Campus.

The NUS Admissions team as well as top professors from our 12 undergraduate faculties and schools will be in Hall 2 at the SRC to address any questions from prospective students and their families on the compelling educational experience at Singapore’s flagship university. Visitors can learn more about the NUS student exchange with some of the world’s leading universities, as well as the entrepreneurial internship programmes in exciting cities around the globe. Admissions and faculty talks will also run throughout the weekend.

Those keen to learn more about the new Yale-NUS College can visit its booth in Hall 2, and attend its talks during the Open House weekend. Yale-NUS is a unique and different residential liberal arts learning experience that draws from the best practices and traditions of Yale University and NUS, and contextualised for Asia in the 21st century. Yale-NUS professors and its admissions team will be on hand to answer queries from prospective students, while mini events such as “Yale-NUS and Your Career” will showcase illustrious alumni from Yale and other liberal arts colleges. They will share how their liberal arts education has propelled them forward in their broad-ranging careers.
