NUSC is the Honours College of the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singapore’s first Honours College.
FOS undergraduates who are concurrently enrolled in NUSC join peers from other degree-bearing faculties to live and learn in a close-knit community.
They will need to fulfil the NUSC course requirements, some of which will take the place of the common curriculum courses in FOS. They will take a significant portion of their common curriculum and general education courses in NUSC instead of FOS. A peer mentor from NUSC will get in touch with incoming first-years after they have completed their onboarding and housing registration requirements. More information can be found here.
The four-year NUSC curriculum is designed with a special emphasis on global orientation, critical thinking and impact-creation to prepare students for the future. Students engage deeply in interdisciplinary topics in small class sizes of 20 to 25 students. NUSC students also learn outside the classroom in the mandatory global pathways and impact experience programmes as well as the two-year residential programme.

New bent-toed gecko species in Timor-Leste
“We have barely scratched the surface of Timor-Leste’s biodiversity. New discoveries can have profound impacts on conservation and policy-making.”
In August 2022, we led an expedition to Timor-Leste in collaboration with Conservation International and the government of Timor-Leste. The Museum’s herpetologist, Dr CHAN Kin Onn, discovered a new species of bent-toed gecko which was named Cyrtodactylus santana, in reference to the Nino Konis Santana National Park, in which the gecko was discovered.
