Living in the City

Singapore, a city-state with a population of over 5 million, is a highly-accessible, modern city and is considered one of the cleanest and greenest cities in the world. We are also one of the top 10 safest countries in the world. Being part of the tropics, this sunny island enjoys summer all year round, with some rain forecasted throughout the year. Having a multicultural society makes Singapore a food heaven, as well as a melting pot of cultures and opportunities, attracting talents and corporations from all around the globe. 

The strategic location of Singapore (off the southern tip of the Malaysian Peninsular) has contributed to the country's successes. The country's relative stability has also allowed Singapore to become a thriving and bustling business hub in the region today.

CEMS Club Singapore

CEMS Club Singapore is the local chapter of the CEMS student clubs that are present in each academic partner. The CEMS Club is the most important pillar of the CEMS student experience and the main structure designed to make the CEMS life real for students. It is core to the CEMS community, at the crossroad between the students and all the different CEMS stakeholders, namely Corporate Partners, Alumni, CEMS students and their universities. It unites all CEMS students and involves them in the building of CEMS as a community in each campus.
