Student Support

At the NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, we understand that while campus life can be exciting and fulfilling, there can be stress adapting to the varying demands of a new environment and academic studies. We aim to make this experience less stressful so that students can enjoy their learning experience and adapt smoothly to their new environment.

We regard students’ development, wellness and satisfaction to be of utmost importance. Do not hesitate to seek out help when you are feeling overwhelmed or lost.
