The National University of Singapore (NUS), founded in 1905, is Asia's #1 university and consistently ranked in the global top 10 by QS (currently #8 worldwide as of 2025). NUS enrolls 40,000+ students across three Singapore campuses: Kent Ridge (main), Bukit Timah (law and public policy), and Outram (medicine). The university is especially dominant in engineering, computer science, business, and biomedical sciences. Tuition for international undergraduates after the Tuition Grant is approximately SGD 30,000-45,000/year (roughly USD 22,000-33,000); without the grant, SGD 45,000-65,000. NUS has produced multiple leaders across Asia including heads of state, central bankers, and Fortune Global 500 CEOs. Its Yong Siew Toh Conservatory and Duke-NUS Medical School extend its global reach.
