There remain concerns amongst parents and students over how the merger of Yale-NUS with the University Scholar’s Programme will affect critical issues like study abroad programmes and post-graduate opportunities.
Some students fear that employers would not recognise degrees awarded by the school, which will no longer take in new students.
In response to media queries, Yale-NUS College president Tan Tai Yong said he was confident that graduates will continue to do well. He cited the annual Joint Autonomous Universities Graduate Employment Surveys, which found that nine in 10 of the fresh graduates from Yale-NUS College’s cohorts between 2017 and last year found employment within six months of completing their final examinations.
