As a Residential College, residents of Tembusu College live and learn together with their peers under the same roof. Integral to the learning is the University Town College Programme (UTCP) where residents read five Seminar-style Modules over their two year residency.

Brian Rappert is a Professor of Science, Technology and Public Affairs in the Department of Sociology, Philosophy and Anthropology st the University of Exeter (UK). His long term interest has been the examination of the social and ethical dilemmas associated with scientific and technical expertise. Over the last ten years, his research has concentrated on examining and participating in attempts to enhance the humanitarian restrictions governing the conduct of war as well as efforts to avoid the militarisation of science, This has entailed undertaking extensive research in diplomatic and security circles. Prof Rappert has done so through an interventionist approach that combines scholarship and policy relevancy. He has conducted research and collaborated with a wide range of non-governmental organisations as part of humanitarian campaigning efforts. This has been done to find ways of promoting inquiry into situations in which the control of information is highly managed.
