The NUS Communities & Engagement (C&E) programme offers transformative service-learning and engagement-learning opportunities that empower students to address societal challenges and contribute meaningfully to social services and community development.

In service-learning courses, students design and conduct impactful projects and volunteer work within a national framework that directs efforts toward critical needs. These courses uniquely combine academic learning with structured hands-on service work, equipping students with essential skills for volunteering and reflexive learning. At the same time, they provide thoughtful and sustained support for the community to make a difference. 

In engagement-learning courses, students apply academic knowledge to understand or solve real-world community challenges. As they do so, they develop insights, propose solutions, or conduct activities to bring direct or indirect benefits to the community.

Through experiential learning, the NUS C&E programme inspires and empowers our youth to take proactive steps towards creating positive change and building a better future for all.
