University students from Singapore are heading overseas again as institutes of higher learning gradually resume exchange programmes.
Local institutions said that some students went abroad in January this year, and more are expected to do so in coming months. About 120 students from the National University of Singapore headed overseas between last October and January under the NUS Overseas Colleges programme, a work-study entrepreneurial stint.
Similarly, about 450 students from Singapore Management University are going on exchange.
Nine students from Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) began their eight-month immersion programme at the University of California, Berkeley, in the United States in January this year.
