NUS Graduate School (NUSGS)

Student Life and Well Being

Our Goals

Empowering graduate students to reach their full potential, fostering both personal and professional growth through self-discovery, transformation, and lifelong learning.

Our approach is built on four key drivers:

Hope

Holistic Outcomes and Psychological Emotional Support via:

Seminars / Workshops / Events
Psychosocial support
Consultation-Liaison
Assessment & Monitoring

Optimizing University Resources

Enhance students’ awareness and utilization of university resources, ensuring they can fully benefit from the support and opportunities available.

Self Directed Development

Proactive pursuit of learning and growth, driven by personal goals, continuous improvement and contribution.

Research

Research mental health challenges within the academic community to develop interventions for graduate success.

Our Team

Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and wellness begins with appreciating the present moment.

A suitable pace ensures that one has enough reserves for the entire journey. When faced with uncertainty and doubt, remind ourselves why we do what we do

Contentment is accepting who I am—both my strengths and weaknesses—and embracing every experience as a lesson that enriches and shapes my growth.

Senior Manager

Suspending judgement and practicing empathy even if just for a moment, may change someone's life for the better. Whose life will you change today?

Take time to smell the flowers as you navigate life's journey, whether on mountaintops, wandering through deep valleys, or strolling across open plains.
