Graduation Outcomes

 A Yale-NUS College education trains students to become the leaders the world needs. Established in 2011, Yale-NUS College has since graduated four classes. Our alumni have started careers in various industries, pursued further studies in Singapore and abroad, and contributed to different communities around the world. In 2019, 95.8% of our graduates seeking work were employed within 6 months. These new additions to the workforce earn a median salary of $3800 a month. It was also reported that our Bachelor of Science graduates earn a median starting salary of $5000 a month. This data comes from the Joint Autonomous Universities Graduate Employment Survey 2019 which was conducted by the National University of Singapore (NUS) and other Autonomous Universities (AUs) in Singapore. Yale-NUS College graduates have also received various prestigious scholarships. Among our pool of graduates, we have: 1 Fullbright Scholar, 1 Rhodes Scholar, 2 Schwarzman Scholars, and 1 Yenching Scholar. We have also had 3 shortlisted candidates for the Singapore Rhodes Scholarship.

There is a wealth of experience to be had outside the classroom, and Yale-NUS College’s Centre for International and Professional Experience (CIPE) is poised to help students explore an enriching array of local and global opportunities. CIPE believes that a series of intentional, impactful and engaging experiences will lead to greater personal, professional and intellectual development for Yale-NUS students. This is why each Yale-NUS student has a CIPE advisor to guide them through a portfolio of experiential opportunities, such as: study abroad, summer sessions, internships, career services, leadership and service programming, and research attachments.

CIPE Career Services

Research shows that today’s young professionals change jobs – and even industries – more than ever. CIPE works with students to develop the skills needed to be effective and adaptable in a changing economy. We arm students with skills that will allow them to constantly reinvent themselves and move between challenges with ease. By employing the 3Es – Exploring, Equipping and Engaging – we guide students on their path of self-exploration, equip them with the right tools to make informed decisions and engage in foundation-building activities.
