New Colombo Plan Scholar from University of

Melbourne, Australia. Exchange in AY2013/14

“I've thoroughly enjoyed my exchange at NUS.

It's been amazing to meet and study with

people from all around the world . . . My

exchange has definitely been an enriching

experience and I can't wait to come back.”

Student from King’s College London, UK. Exchange in

AY2013/14

The best university I have had the pleasure to

attend. The friendly nature of all on campus, the

safety provided on campus and the academic

support are just a few select reasons that I would

highly recommend NUS to other stands. The list

goes on.
