National University of Singapore president Tan Eng Chye has said that NUS aims to be an “anchor” for its community of graduates so that they can return to it throughout their lives for continual learning.
Lifelong learning is essential nowadays because of changing workforce demands.
The university is now experimenting with having more than 10 per cent of adult learners in each class.
The university currently offers 167 undergraduate and postgraduate modules for alumni to take for free.
This January, NUS took in 1,200 students across 88 modules.
