Almost every week, members of Tembusu College are invited to meet and chat with guests – both local and international – through a variety of hosted events. There is a huge diversity of backgrounds amongst our visitors, who range from politicians to diplomats, artists, writers, poets, and academics. Select an event category on the left to find out more.
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. Find out more About the Programme or browse available modules on the left.

This tea session is intended to be a part of Migrant Workers Awareness Week, which is an annual event, slated to run in March 2017. The session (which will ideally be open to all UTown residents) will give students an opportunity to hear from a migrant worker (especially one from the construction sector – people we encounter every day but almost never interact with), as well as learn more about volunteering for their cause. Sign-ups will be disseminated at the end should students want to be further involved and volunteer for MWAW 2017.
