About 7,000 incoming students at the National University of Singapore (NUS) will now have the opportunity to contribute to community projects in a refreshed General Education curriculum which will give students a more holistic learning experience. Students applying to programmes in Engineering as well as Design and Environment will also benefit from enhanced, flexible, and student-centric pathways in the new academic year starting in August 2021.
Enhanced General Education Curriculum
The General Education (GE) curriculum, which was first introduced in 2001 and most recently revamped in 2015, is an important foundational component of NUS’ undergraduate curriculum. It aims to foster breadth of learning by preparing students to think deeply, ask critical questions, make logical inferences, and debate issues related to the diverse and changing cultural landscape. GE complements the regular academic curriculum, which helps students develop knowledge and abilities required in the specialisation of a particular discipline or profession.
