What to Expect on Campus

Students at NUS can anticipate a vibrant campus life that extends beyond academics, offering numerous opportunities for personal growth and social engagement. The university is committed to providing top-tier infrastructure and services, ensuring a conducive environment for living, working, bonding, and playing. From housing and campus services to sports facilities and event management, every unit is dedicated to fostering an enriching and memorable experience.

The campus actively promotes participation in sports and cultural activities, recognizing their role in developing social interaction skills and forging lifelong friendships. With state-of-the-art facilities like the University Cultural Centre, students have access to a diverse range of arts programs and events, contributing to a holistic and inspiring university journey. The aim is to create not just a first-class education, but a lasting connection with NUS.

Knowing facts is not enough. Future leaders must be able to process information, evaluate options, and make sound decisions. At NUS, we train your mind through interactive case discussions and dynamic classroom debates led by world-class faculty. You will sharpen your ability to think critically and act decisively.

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.
