Beyond Campus

Introduction

Your whole educational experience in the FASS extends beyond the physical boundaries of the campus or even Singapore. The world awaits your exploration!

Whatever you experience the various programmes here can be understood through and within the many frameworks the disciplines provide. The result is heightened awareness and understanding of the world we live in.

Immersion Programmes

The Centre for Language Studies organizes language immersion programmes. Students will attend language classes, participate in social activities and/go on excursions to enhance their language ability as well as to learn more of the cultural and history of the different countries.

Field Studies Module

Field Studies takes learning out of the comfortable air-conditioned lecture theatre. Lessons take place in glitzy mega malls, dilapidated red light districts, mountainous kuomintang legacies, on elephants' backs, and in other exciting locations.

Students embark on research through intense first-hand experiences and interactions, picking up and developing important life skills and relationships along the way.

Summer Programme

Students can participate in summer programmes organized by NUS or our partner universities. This is a shorter version of Student Exchange Programme whereby students are able to experience living independently and be exposed to different environments for a few weeks. Students will also be able to transfer credits for the courses read and passed.

Currently, the Southeast Asian Studies Programme offers a "Yale in NUS Summer Programme".

Student Exchange Programme

The FASS has an exciting overseas student exchange programme, which allows NUS students to experience an enriching semester in a different educational, social and cultural environment. We also offer a vibrant cultural experience for our foreign guests who come here for an exchange semester.

Credit transfer is given towards the fulfillment of degree requirements for approved coursework undertaken overseas under the exchange programme.

Currently, NUS has exchange programmes with several universities, for example, the Regents of the University of California, Carnegie Mellon University and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

In addition, the FASS also has Faculty-level and Departmental-level exchanges with universities that have excellent programmes like the University of Melbourne and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
