Diverse learning opportunities that extend beyond

Apar rom is ormal curricular resources, USP also

offers sudens opporuniies o explore and develop

heir ineress ouside o he classroom. We ake seriously

he ask o inroducing sudens o new experiences ha

will challenge hem and enhance heir inerdisciplinarylearning. o his end, USP encourages and provides

financial suppor or numerous overseas iniiaives.

For example, in 2011 sudens ook par in our inaugural

USP-SP Jain Exchange Inernship Programme held in

Mumbai, India. Sudens worked alongside NGOs in

various areas o social and economic developmen, such

as microfinance, womens empowermen, and healhcare.

Anoher group spen hree weeks in he remoe areas o

Laos and norhern Tailand in a pilo projec explicily

aimed o involve sudens in all seps o module planning,

including pedagogy, conen, and logisics. Ye anoher

group was in Canberra, Ausralia paricipaing in he

inaugural Global Cross-Disciplinary ournamen ha

sudens hemselves had iniiaed and run.

USP organises a variey o aciviies and projecs or

USP sudens, including seminars, symposia, and sudy

exchange programmes a universiies such as Harvard,

Yale, Delhi, Waseda, Princeon, Sciences Po, Beida, and

he Ausralian Naional Universiy. Pas opporuniies or

sudens have also included sudy rips and expediions

o he Himalayas, urkey, Japan, Cambodia, and India.

Tese are also opporuniies or sudens o iniiae and

cusomise heir own learning experience wihin a globalconex.

Afer weny-five ciies, counless unprecedened learningopporuniies, and numerous cross-culural iendships, Icanno even begin o describe how USP has brough newmeaning o my universiy lie. In my hree and a hal yearsa USP, I have sudied Poliics o Heriage in Cambodiawih mind-blowing proessors, ravelled o Harvard oshare insighs abou social enrepreneurship, sudiedFilm Noir and he American Ciy a Yale, and acivelyconsruced a caalys or change in educaion a heAusralian Naional Universiy. All o hese opporuniieswere available o me a he same ime ha I was alsoenrolling in revoluionary modules like Biosemioics wihinUSP or Masers-level modules om he Lee Kuan YewSchool o Public Policy.

USP brings ogeher all o he individuals ha a sudenwould ever need o realise his or her dreams. A heUSP, you will encouner curious peers, challengingproessors, and dedicaed saff. I is a uniquely muli-aceed programme ha goes beyond merely mouldingan individual ino a generic shape; insead, USP ruly

empowers you o be he change you wan o see in heworld.

Afer spending he summer o 2010 sudying a Yaleand hen Cambridge, I hough I would never be able oreplicae he communiy-based learning ha ook place in

he residenial colleges o hose campuses. Bu never have Ibeen so glad o be proven wrong. Te RC has rekindled heburs o energy I had overseas by lighing he learning spiriwihin he corridors here. I never know wha conversaionso expec: a breakas in he dining hall, my day sars wihdiscussions o exacly how naural selecion and evoluionare relaed; a lunch in he common rooms, discussionurns o he role o religion in he ormaion o ourideniies; and over dinner, conversaions are dominaedby American poliics and he Norh Aican conflic. Everyproblem is approached om a myriad o disciplines bei economics, engineering, or psychology. I cherish hesemomens o enlighenmen where I am able o bring my owndisciplinary ocus o finance and markeing o see how myperspecive fis ino he grand scheme o hings.

In one word, USP is inspiraional. I has augh me hauniversiy lie is abou educaion boh exual andexperienial. And along wih oher hings in lie, universiyis no jus abou he end. I is he journey ha ruly maters,because his is where learning really happens; and wih
