Dear Students

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) at the National University of Singapore is pleased to announce that the application for FASStrack Asia: The Summer School in June 2016 is now open till 15 March 2016.  If your interest is in Asia and all things Asian, FASStrack Asia will be perfect for you.

As one of the most modern and dynamic countries in the world, Singapore with its multi-cultural society is ideally positioned as a transnational hub within Asia, the fastest-growing region in the world today. The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, with its tradition of excellent teaching and strong research in Asian studies, is well poised to impart the critical skills necessary to understand this complex and vitally-important region. As Asia undergoes rapid developments, this summer school will offer a spotlight on the region for your better understanding of various related topics and issues.

Taught over a 5-week summer period (20 June – 22 July 2016), you will attend classes, participate in active discussions and go on field trips with academic experts. We offer courses in different disciplines such as Asian Studies, Sociology, Public Health, Cultural Studies as well as in Economics with special emphasis on various Asian regions. There are also Asian language classes on offer. Some of these courses feature an 8 to 10 days’ field trip to countries such as Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand, as well as local field trips in Singapore. In addition, you will be joined by international students from top universities all over the world for the summer school.

There will be social events for student get-togethers and cultural exchange. You will have an opportunity to stay at UTown which house NUS residential colleges and combine living, studying and playing on-campus for a comprehensive and exciting summer experience in NUS.
