Students can now share study time in Singapore

DUNDEE University and the National University of Singapore have established a partnership that will see students share their study time between the two countries and earn a degree from both institutions.

The universities are both globally prominent in the field of life sciences and say they offer “top-quality teaching and excellent student experience”.

The new jointly-offered Bachelor of Science degree programme comes in a package that allows students to experience life and study in the UK and Asia.

The four-year programme was formally launched in the company of the British High Commissioner in Singapore, His Excellency Scott Wightman.

The partnership builds on years of collaboration and student exchanges between the universities.

Professor Sir Pete Downes, Principal and Vice-chancellor of Dundee University, said: “This is a prestigious partnership established on a shared commitment to research and innovation-led teaching excellence in Dundee and Singapore.

“Our goal is always to bring the best of the world to Dundee, and to take the best of Dundee to the world. Students from Dundee will have the opportunity to work with leading scientists in Singapore with expertise that complements that in Dundee.”

National University of Singapore president Professor Tan Eng Chye said: “This joint degree programme is a natural and significant extension of our friendship with Dundee.”
