Comments from Past Oxbridge Students

Mateusz Krol, Cambridge University
My favourite thing about Singapore is food. I do not think I would ever be able to try so much local, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian and many other cuisines in one place. It is very affordable and even though I love to cook, it is so much cheaper to eat out and enjoy what Singapore’s food scene has to offer. |

“The NUS curriculum covers lots of the same content as the Cambridge one, but with a greater focus on project work. That work can be difficult to stay on top of at times, but the topics are always engaging, focused on applications of the content, and help to further your understanding of the module.” |

Gus Neate, Oxford University
“Singapore has lived up to its international reputation for being a modern, clean and safe city. NUS is incredibly modern and the facilities are superb. I have really enjoyed my courses in NUS and being able to select courses which match my interests very closely. The content has been really interesting.” |

Wojciech Dziwulski, Oxford University
“I didn’t quite know what to expect! I heard a lot of positive feedback from the previous cohort, but I’ve never been to Asia before, so had a hard time imagining myself at NUS. I thought the campus was more integrated into the city, whereas it is virtually a self-sufficient city in itself, although very well well-connected with the outside. Singapore proved to be an extremely welcoming place due to incredible people and a very high standard of living.” |
