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.

Minh is a third-year Business Analytics major who loves to interact with people and serve the community. Prior to joining the Res Team, Minh was part of the Tancho House Committee and Negotiation Workshop. She also spent her Saturday morning with tMentors, tutoring students from New Town Secondary School. Being a potato in her whole life, Minh surprisingly started her Tembusu journey by joining various sport interest groups (join Dodgeball and tSplash!) and now she even hits the gym with her Tembu buddies.
A firm believer of “creating a community wherever you go”, Minh always tries to talk to people around and bond them together. If you don’t see her in the lounge cracking some lame jokes, you can probably hear her voice from a nearby suite. Craving for some Vietnamese food? Knock on Minh’s door anytime! Not a born cook but the circuit breaker has forced her to upgrade her cooking skills. And if her effort to follow the best recipe fails, she will definitely bring you to hidden Vietnamese foodie gems in Singapore.
In her free time, Minh enjoys socializing with people but if there is no one around, she would binge-watch dramas or secretly learn a Kpop song’s choreography.
