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.

Zhi Feng is a fourth-year undergraduate double majoring in Economics and Business Analytics. He is passionate about understanding the world through the lens of Economics and applying his coding knowledge to solve problems.
He has been active in Tembusu Coffeehouse and Volleyball. He is also a Tembusu Ambassador and was previously the student coordinator for Open House 2021 and 2022. On special occasions, you might see him in suits hosting guests during Tembusu Forums or engaging with prospective students during outreaches. Chances are if you ask him why Tembusu, you will be in for a long conversation. Hit him up if you would like to have a chat about life in Tembusu, university or anything in general!
Having lived in Australia for over a year, the thing he misses the most is short casual lift conversations. He is really passionate to listen to people’s stories. If you see him in the lifts, along the corridors or anywhere around the college, do feel free to say hi!
