NUS graduates are regarded as the ninth most employable in the world, according to the Global Employability University Ranking and Survey (GEURS) 2025.
NUS has been consistently ranked in the top 10 of the GEURS since 2020.
Produced by French consultancy Emerging and published by the Times Higher Education, the annual study gathers global employer insights to rank the top 250 universities that are the best at developing career- and workplace-ready graduates.
NUS has been consistently ranked in the top 10 since 2020. This year, it ranked second-highest in Asia behind eighth-placed The University of Tokyo. The first, second and third spots in the overall ranking went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology and Stanford University respectively.
Professor Aaron Thean, NUS Deputy President (Academic Affairs) and Provost said, “The NUS educational experience nurtures in our students a keen sense of curiosity, critical thinking, data-driven analytical skills, and global sensibilities. Strongly grounded in academics with market and global exposure, they are highly sought after across industries in Singapore and internationally, confident and ready to create impact and change. With technological disruptions now the norm, NUS is actively integrating skills and knowledge of fast-developing domains like AI and data analytics into our curriculum so that our students are future-ready.
