Community & Social Mobility
Education is a powerful tool for upward social mobility. One of NUS’ top priorities has always been to ensure that all students, regardless of socioeconomic status, have access to higher education.
Smart Technology & Connectivity
Technology has been a strong catalyst for progress, and NUS will harness the power of technology to do good in healthcare, sustainability and education. The University aims to be an important driver of innovations in Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence to shape the digital era.
Urbanisation & Sustainability
We have always been passionate champions for responsible and sustainable development in Singapore. This includes areas such as the design and use of the physical environment, climate change, population growth, environmental conservation, sustainable energy, food security and sustainability, and water consumption.
Healthy Longevity [Video coming soon]
Healthy Longevity is not just about physical health. It is also about leading productive, well-engaged and secure lives marked by holistic well-being.
Innovation & Enterprise [Video coming soon]
Innovation and entrepreneurship are two essential drivers of long-term economic growth. NUS aims to achieve this by establishing and supporting a regional innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. Besides expanding existing programmes, stronger partnerships with local and regional players across public and private sectors will anchor Singapore’s position as the region’s entrepreneurial hub.
