Location:

While based in Singapore, Yale-NUS College cultivated a significant global presence. This was achieved through its highly diverse international student body and faculty drawn from around the world, extensive student exchange programs, research collaborations, and robust partnerships with global institutions, most notably Yale University. The curriculum itself was infused with global perspectives, aiming to educate citizens prepared for a complex interconnected world. The college did not operate physical branch campuses internationally; its global impact was primarily through its people, programs, and partnerships.
