NUS graduates are regarded as the ninth most employable in the world, according to the 2021 edition of the Global Employability University Ranking and Survey.
NUS continues to be the only Singapore university to be placed in the top 10. It is also ranked among the top two in Asia – placed behind only the University of Tokyo which came in sixth place.
The University maintains its ranking from last year and continues to be the only Singapore university to be placed in the top 10. It also performed well in Asia – placed behind only the University of Tokyo which came in sixth place.
The survey showed that for the first time, soft skills and digital literacy have become the most important competencies employers look out for since the pandemic hit; rising to the top over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic from being fourth most important just two years ago.
NUS Chief Communications Officer Ms Ovidia Lim-Rajaram said, “We are delighted close to 11,000 employers around the world have ranked NUS among the top 10 for global employability for the second year running. This recognition places our graduates among the most sought-after, globally. It also affirms our belief in a broad-based, experiential education that embraces subject mastery, international exposure, as well as 21st century essentials such as cultural understanding, critical thinking, data and digital literacy. We will continue to focus our efforts on nurturing adaptive and resilient graduates with deep and real-world expertise in and across disciplines, to prepare them for new-generation jobs, and help them thrive in a disruptive and uncertain world.”
Commissioned by international Paris-based HR consultancy Emerging, the annual poll was conducted by consulting and polling institute Trendence and published by Times Higher Education. In its eleventh year, the survey asks employers to list the universities that best prepare students for the workplace.
