We promote the Spirit of Learning at SUSS by providing excellent learning opportunities. Learning, to us, is a lifelong quest for knowledge that helps not just the person but also others around them.

We must act with integrity and treat everyone with equal respect and trust as we contribute to a more inclusive and resilient society. We drive Innovation for Excellence together, utilising new ideas and technology to meet society’s evolving requirements.

The Centre for Applied Research (CFAR) is responsible for conducting, managing, and facilitating research and associated activities. It also serves as a hub for research programs and initiatives. As the knowledge -a centre of the Singapore University of Social Sciences, CFAR maintains an archive of all professors, staff, and student knowledge production.
Full-time Undergraduate Programs at SUSS
In 2014, SUSS started offering full-time undergraduate degree programs. We want to foster self-directed, application-oriented learners with a strong sense of social and civic responsibility. Our educational concept gets based on the Three H’s: Head, Heart, and Habit.
SUSS Service-Learning
Service-Learning conceived as an integral part of the university’s learning ecology and pedagogy to empower students to further develop and act on their sense of social responsibility and contribute significantly to society, founded on real-world ideas and activities. It is anchored in the educational philosophy to develop graduates with strong social consciousness and civic responsibility. SUSS full-time degree programs include service learning as a graduation requirement.
In close collaboration – with local community partners, students discuss, investigate, and propose a local service-learning project. The project should be a long-term endeavour that lasts at least two years. Students can also use an abroad adventure to investigate global issues relevant to their service-learning.
