How to Navigate?

Navigating around the 2022 NUS Graduate Education Virtual Open House (VOH) is easy.  After logging in, you will arrive at the ‘lobby’ of the VOH where you can participate in various events and activities (‘live’ interactive activities are indicated with this icon ):

The ‘talk or forum’ that is occurring when you enter the auditorium will be flashed at the Auditorium. Click on those words to immediately enter the webinar listen and participate in the talks and/or discussion forums.

You can also click on the blinking word ‘Auditorium’ (in orange background) to directly enter the Auditorium for ‘live’ talks. Alternatively, if you like to view the schedule of events first, Click on the word ‘Talks Schedule’  (in orange background) at the lobby to view the latest schedule of events at the auditorium. From that site, you can enter the webinar to listen and participate in the talks and/or discussion forums, by simply clicking on the yellow button ‘Live Auditorium’ in Green Background.

Click on the word ‘Exhibit Hall’ (in orange background) to explore the different graduate programs at the various faculties / institutes and even chat ‘live’ with admissions officers and perhaps even academic faculty, students and/or alumni at some faculties. To explore,

    • First select the faculty of interest by clicking on name of the faculty to view their webpage and the different programs that they offer.
    • When you enter the specific faculty webpage, there will be an icon labeled ‘Chat with me via Zoom’. This is where you can interact ‘live’ with the admissions officers and other members of that faculty.
    • There’s a notice board where they can communicate with you about anything, including any special events happening or when they are unavailable to chat with you.
    • If they are unavailable when you visit their ‘booth’ / webpage, you can also ‘drop me a message’ for them to get back to you.

Alternatively, if you like to directly speak with a Faculty Admissions Specialist, you can click on the zoom icon next to the Faculty Name.  If they are unavailable, return to the Exhibit Hall and Click on the Faculty Name to enter the website and leave a message instead.

You can get help on anything about the VOH or graduate studies (generally, but not specific programs which you will need to approach the specific faculty hosting the program) by clicking on the word ‘Help Desk’ (in green background) which will be manned by very experienced and knowledgeable admissions officers from the NUS Graduate School.

This lounge will only be opened after all the ‘live’ talks and discussions in the auditorium is over (ie ~7:30 pm on 6th Oct 2022 till 1 am on the 7th Oct 2022). Here, you can chat casually with the Vice Dean and Admissions Officers of the NUS Graduate School and maybe admission officers, academic faculty, students or alumni from one or more specific faculties / programs.  Click on the word ‘Lounge’ in blue background to enter the zoom room to chat.

Click on the word ‘Scholarships’ in blue background to explore the various different scholarships that are available for you.
