About NUSOne
In a world of constant change, higher education is key to preparing students for the future workscape. Beyond academic competencies, students need diverse skills and attributes to effectively navigate change, which can be challenging.
NUS has been proactively transforming its formal and informal curricula. Flexible academic pathways, interdisciplinary education, and a general education curriculum that hones intellectual versatility and competencies like data literacy, digital literacy, and cultural awareness are now in place for most undergraduate degree programmes.
NUSOne is the latest initiative to enhance the informal curriculum beyond the classroom. Starting from Year One, NUSOne fosters a holistic and well-rounded university experience that integrates formal learning with Student Life and other out-of-classroom experiences.
Three key features of NUSOne:
