Ethos
Tembusu College’s motto The Home of Possibilities, means we value the development of each individual according to her or his own path through life. At the same time we are a learning community, which seeks to give students an intense experience in a nurturing environment. The college administers (and awards certificates for) the prestigious University Town College Programme (UTCP), which augments students’ regular degree programmes by emphasising breadth, critical thinking, and exposure to inter-disciplinary thinking. Our curriculum includes both seminars and out-of-classroom learning experiences.
The college is not themed. Diversity is an important part of our ethos, and we offer learning opportunities across a broad spectrum of interests. We do, however, have particular areas of strength, which are reflected in the backgrounds of our faculty.

'On Writing Art' by Jeremy Fernando at the Central Public Library
July 31, 2018
8 Aug 2018
In this performance-talk, Jeremy Fernando will address the manner in which he responds to, the way in which he approaches his attempts to, write on works of art. For, if art is the transformation of something that is brought forth through craft, through tekhnē, into something else, it not only lies potentially beyond us, it might well also transform the one who looks at it. Thus, writing on art - even if one thinks one is picking up a call from the work - not only risks completely missing the point, but is quite possibly always writing art itself.
Wed, 8 August
730 - 830pm
Multi-Purpose Room
Central Public Library
