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.

Natalie is a fourth-year undergraduate majoring in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). Prior to joining the Res Team, Natalie was part of GreenT and Thriftbusu, as part of her passion and interest in sustainability and environmental action.
Having been away in Norway for a semester, Natalie misses the artistic spirit and culture of the college. Do not be frightened if you hear singing in the shower, because Natalie loves music and singing. You can sometimes find her playing the piano in the common lounge, though she cannot promise that she’s any good at it!
Natalie loves observing the complexity and beauty of people and the world, be it through the lens of her major (yes she is a huge nerd and enjoys discussing nerdy topics), or through her enjoyment of anime and manga. Feel free to knock on her door and fangirl about various anime/manga, or have a cup of tea and share about whatever’s on your mind!
