Welcome to Southeast Asian Studies @ NUS
Life isn't divided up into neat disciplinary boxes. Learning about the world shouldn't be boxed in either.

Our department aims to offer a truly inter-disciplinary approach to learning which draws on different perspectives and methodologies from the humanities and social sciences, all thoroughly informed by local experience and knowledge.
