Student Support

 

 

Student Support at NUS comes at three levels: University, Faculty, and Department/Programme.

The University provides student counselling services through the University Counselling Services (UCS) at the University Health Centre. Students encountering significant stress are encouraged to approach UCS counsellors, who are professionally trained to listen to concerns and to help explore possibilities. Counselling services are free for all full-time NUS students. Call 6516 2376 or email uhc_counselling@nus.edu.sg for an appointment. For life-threatening psychological emergencies, there is a 24-hour NUS Lifeline at 6516 7777. Students may also approach peer student supporters for peer support and a listening ear (http://nus.edu.sg/osa/student-services/s3/peer-student-supporters).

The Faculty also provides support for student wellness. The relevant contact information is listed on this webpage: https://fass.nus.edu.sg/support-wellness/. If you need a listening ear, Ms Lynn Seah (lynnseah@nus.edu.sg, 6601 3496) and Mr Mark Tan (mark.tan@nus.edu.sg, 6516 7274) are there for you.
