Nyimas Andreana, Class Of 2024, Communications
NTU-USP gave me the opportunity to pick up skills and knowledge beyond my major, such from philosophy to business, to drama and art. Lessons with USP never failed to widen my perspective on various areas of study. It also allowed me to see the world – citing our DEEP Drama overseas trip to Hong Kong! Being a part of this community of such talented and capable friends was a big motivation till the very end of my university experience.
Tsoi Chee Chung, Class Of 2024, Aerospace Engineering
The NTU-USP programme has neatly complemented my undergraduate experience as an engineering student, honing my critical thinking and analytical skills across an interdisciplinary range of subjects, while providing many opportunities to grow my soft skills like communication and teamwork. The diverse and tight-knit NTU-USP community encourages peer learning and leadership through various student-run events, allowing us to contribute in our own meaningful ways. NTU-USP has been a strong pillar of support on my learning journey for which I am grateful.
Lee Joon Hei, Class Of 2024, Computer Science
Why join NTU-USP as a Computer Science major?” Asked this question both as an applicant and in the years after, I always answered that it was precisely because of my STEM background that I craved a more diverse experience to complement it. Looking back, this choice was certainly justified. From paleoanthropology to astronomy, TOPS to exchange, the slew of electives and overseas opportunities provided by NTU-USP gave me the skills and courage to continually venture out of my comfort zone. The programme also gifted me with countless fond memories with my fellow USPham that I’ll hold close for a long time.
Cheu Li Qing Grace, Class Of 2024, Art Design And Media
My NTU-USP experience made up the core of my university life as it was there that I found my second home amongst an all-rounded community. The various fun and meaningful events were a vibrant platform to create fond memories and hone specific interests, such as developing leadership skills and rekindling my love for theatre. Having the opportunity to take interdisciplinary classes also enriched my learning experience by exposing me to various philosophies and global issues. However, what ultimately made NTU-USP special to me was seeing how our differences could come together to make up a spirited community.
Low Yong Zhou, Class of 2023, Accountancy & Business
My NTU-USP journey was truly a transformative one. Looking back, NTU-USP offered countless opportunities to expand my horizons abroad and a nurturing environment to grow and develop holistically. Each takeaway from the inspiring faculty and peers I met on this journey has shaped me into the person I am today.

Ang Wan Qi, Class of 2022, Environmental Earth Systems Science
NTU-USP classes prompted me to delve deeper into a variety of social and philosophical issues. As a science student, the NTU-USP experience has proven to be a valuable supplement to my academic journey and has contributed significantly to my overall development. The curriculum equipped me with a well-rounded perspective and a solid foundation that enables me to explore diverse topics beyond my primary field of study even after graduation.
Lim Jia Yi, Class 2021, Linguistics and Multilingual Studies
My NTU-USP experience is shaped by the little moments - sneaking in Koufu dinners during our 4.30pm classes, late nights studying together at the Crespion canteen, debating over AI ethics one day and the next on which theme would work best for our annual Back2School event, and so much more. These little moments were made extraordinary with the warm and supportive community here at NTU-USP. They gave me both the courage to try new things (like running for club president in my final year!) and comfort in knowing that these friends are for life.
Thung Yi Tian, Class of 2020, Physical and Mathematical Sciences
The NTU-USP curriculum has provided me with a deep perspective on a broad range of topics, equipping me with soft skills to master any knowledge beyond my discipline. The cohesive and motivated student community has been crucial in giving me support during and well beyond my undergraduate journey, pushing me to strive for excellence in my pursuits.
Ng Xinyu, Class of 2019, Communication Studies
The NTU-USP community has been my greatest takeaway from university. I've been blessed with countless opportunities to develop myself as a leader, hold meaningful and intellectual discussions with my peers, broaden my perspectives with trips overseas and learn from passionate professors. For anyone looking for a holistic environment to develop themselves and learn from the sharpest of minds and kindest of hearts in the community, NTU-USP is the place to be.
Kwang Yi Jing, Class of 2018, Accountancy & Business
While the scholarship offers impressive monetary benefits, I benefited most from the programme's ability to bring together a group of intelligent, like-minded, and driven individuals. It forged a community that felt very much like home. It provided a network and sounding board to call upon, when needed. Most importantly, being around my peers - many of whom are more talented and accomplished than I am - inspired daily self-reflection and improvement. It pushed me to strive for more. 4 years later, I can safely say I have achieved more today because of NTU-USP.
Low Zhi Hong, Class of 2017, Aerospace Engineering
The NTU-USP experience has stretched my intellectual capacity and broadened my perspectives of the world – well beyond the scope of my engineering degree. Of all, I am utmost thankful to be part of a student community which is highly self-driven, capable and very supportive. My peers have continuously inspired me to strive for greater success in university and beyond.
Lek Yan Ru, Class of 2016, Sociology
Participating in the NTU-USP was a transformative experience, blending diverse disciplinary exploration with the privilege of engaging with humble yet brilliant minds. Till now, I fondly recall the Summer Programme, which included USP students, other participants from NTU and two other foreign universities - this experience was unqiue and enriching. I'm deeply grateful for the NTU-USP journey, which has provided me with great exposure and supportive lifelong friends :)
