USP International Programmes
International programme is an integral part of learning in USP. It gives USP students the chance to take learning outside the regular classroom context in Singapore.
The mission behind USP International Strategy is:
To offer a range of opportunities, which help students challenge themselves, and become sensitive to, and familiar with, the modern world by initiating, leading and joining international academic and community programmes and projects.
USP offers and supports a wide range of international programmes every year, comprising the following:
- Student Exchange Programme (with various partner universities around the world)
- Cultural Immersion Programme (China, India, Japan)
- Joint Degree Programme (Australia)
- Double Degree Programme DP (Japan)
- Module study/field trip
- Study Programme
- Summer Programme
- Conference, Symposium, Dialogue
- Youth Expedition, Community Service/Learning Project
- International Internship
- Other NUS-provided opportunities
USP students are encouraged to propose and organise international programmes, as well as take up leadership roles in the process. Students, faculty and the administrative staff get to work hand in hand to make a programme happen. What USP hopes to do is create an environment in which students are self-motivated to act, learn and grow, and programmes are reviewed for substance and sustainability.
Participation in USP international programmes is not compulsory, however, they are highly valued by USP students and competition for a place in a programme is the norm.
