The University Scholars Programme (USP) is an interdisciplinary academic programme for NUS undergraduates.

USP admits 180 students each year, and offers the freedom to explore across disciplines, a wide range of extracurricular and overseas opportunities, and a community of exceptionally motivated and talented students.

USP provides an environment for exploration, collaboration, and creative discovery. Its unique modules are designed to develop interdisciplinary thinking. Learning extends beyond the classroom through a wide range of research, internship, community involvement, and study abroad opportunities. USP aims to produce graduates with the intellectual rigour, initiative, and innovational spirit to make significant contributions to society.

USP is an honours programme. Students admitted to USP are concurrently enrolled in one of six faculties or schools – Arts and Social Sciences, Business, Computing, Design and Environment, Engineering, and Science. They earn 30% of their academic credits in USP, and 70% in their home faculty or school.

Students apply to join USP. Application is by transcript, essay, and interview with USP professors. Students are admitted based on their academic potential and co-curricular achievements, together with their passion, motivation, and curiosity.

USP is not a scholarship disbursement programme. USP students may however apply for NUS scholarships, or can be recipients of other scholarships.
