Congratulations! You made it to NUS and are now an undergraduate. All
those years spent in school and junior college have culminated in this.
For most students, getting used to university life will take some adjustment.
Not to worry. The University is here to help you make the transition and
develop to your fullest potential.
The University's priority is to produce graduates who are equipped to
confront the challenges of the 21st Century. By the time you graduate,
you will possess a broad knowledge base and a wide range of competencies
like critical and creative thinking, information processing, problem solving,
communication and interpersonal skills. The successful graduate will also
have a highly developed sense of moral integrity and social responsibility.
To ease your way into the world of higher education and to orient you
to meet its demands, each student is provided with a self-paced study
guide: The Effective Student: A Guide to Higher Education at NUS. This
important resource is designed to help you adjust to the new environment
and become a more effective student. It covers three main topics:
- Orientation: Gearing Up to Higher Education,
- Study Smart: The Savvy Student, and
- Effective Learning.
Many students have found the Guide useful. Here's what some have said
about The Effective Student.
- "...it covers all aspects of a university student's life"
- "...the effective learning methods are a great help"
- "...helpful study tips"
- "...useful, interesting and very applicable"
The Effective Student is distributed to all incoming students during
orientation. If you haven't received your copy, call the CDTL office at
