SINGAPORE – Fewer students are opting to specialise in arts and social sciences at the National University of Singapore, with enrolment at the faculty shrinking by nearly a third since 2019.


The faculty had around 6,400 undergraduate students and was NUS’ largest during the 2019/2020 academic year – a number which fell to around 4,400 in 2024, enrolment records from the university’s website showed.


Numbers were relatively stable for the prior six years, climbing steadily from just under 6,000 in 2014 to around 6,400 in 2020, before starting to decline.

Students, experts and NUS staff The Straits Times spoke to said that the falling Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) enrolment could be due to changing student demands, pressures to study subjects which will lead to better pay and career progression, and higher entry requirements.


The dip in enrolment at FASS coincided with rising numbers at the Faculty of Science (FOS).


Since 2020, FOS undergraduate enrolment climbed from about 4,100 students to nearly 5,300, an increase of about 24 per cent.

The two faculties have since December 2020 come together under a new administrative body known as the College of Humanities and Sciences (CHS). CHS students share a common core curriculum across the two faculties, and are able, with some exceptions, to switch majors between faculties and take modules from both.


Overall, the total enrolment at NUS for full-time undergraduates has risen, from 26,797 in 2014 to 31,827 in 2024.

In response to queries from ST, NUS said it is seeing greater interest from prospective students for programmes such as computing, artificial intelligence, data science and analytics.
First-year enrolment in these programmes in NUS has increased by about 20 per cent from 2021 to 2023, it said.

There has been a “corresponding recalibration” of enrolment for arts and social sciences programmes – down by about 10 per cent – with enrolment in the pure sciences remaining largely constant, it added.

Students are better off studying STEM degrees or Law or Accountancy instead of general degrees. Shut down faculty of ASS please!

I think a degree from Uptron could even be better than a NUS Arts degree.

Study at Uptron don't need to study, can cheat to earn a degree?

 

[Robert Half]

In 2024 now .. will there be students choose to study Art Stream subjects at GCE A Level for their 2 years junior college courses ?

 

[batman1]

Go get a UPTRON diploma accredited by Singapore MOM and Employers.

Of course there are. So long as can qualify for JC can already. But then, doing an Arts course for A Levels may not a bad idea. One can acquire the skills to smoke one's way through and articulate one's thought across effectively and coherently. I mastered the art of talking cock convincingly and critical thinking from Literature and GP.

This is an ASS (arse and social sai) discipline.
The failed MPee Leon Pereira came from such discipline, which is no discipline to keep his dick in pants.
The rational Stem discipline guy will calculate the risks of getting into Nicole's smelly cunt.
Yes if ASS is the only fac your kid get placed, take the money go study some computing skill at Uptron. ASS is irrelevant in today's tech and AI driven economy. Since my JC days I have endured such snots rubbing their England in my face. I had known this day will cum.

Study STEM, if not we need to import more CECA programmers. Samsters like you wouldn't want that, would you?

Better to have this degree than a degree purchased from an overseas university.

 

[jsctan]

When you are skilled in economy, you be able to trade better, your forex skill will be better, your ability to find business is better.

But of course most Singkie will graduate from these courses and do not apply their skill to the world.

Economic & Finance totally different. One is concerned about health of the economy while the other is working financial institution, a subset of the economy.

NUS Art Ish like Er-mei
NUS Engineering ish Wudang

 

[vamjok]

after they merge the 2 stupid faculties I realise the drastic drop in the student quality and knowledge on their major.
I always take in intern from NUS or NTU from science as a form of social work to contribute back to my field. But recent NUS students I have to teach a lot of simple basics which previously I do not have this issue.

Now they are selling the more all rounder education nonsense asking students taking a lot bo liao modules and cut down their major core modules. now end up all students are half past six in their major.

Economics helps you understand the finance better. It helps you to understand monetary and fiscal policy better. What are the outcome if there's a reduction of interest or there's a raise of interest rate.

It's all intertwined together.

Actually… what subjects or faculty a person study in, will not translate into what she or he will do or work as in their career.
Human is flexible, study in certain faculty don’t mean someone need to die die works in a related field
