The Manager (Acad Programme) is expected to coordinate and support the planning, delivery and continuous improvement of academic programmes at the National University of Singapore. Responsibilities may include managing programme administration, timetables, examinations, student records, faculty coordination, quality assurance and stakeholder communication. Candidates typically require a degree, relevant experience in academic administration or programme management, strong organisational and communication skills, and proficiency with administrative systems. The role expects someone detail-oriented, service-minded and able to manage multiple deadlines independently while working effectively with academic staff, students and external partners. Familiarity with higher education policies, curriculum processes and data reporting would be advantageous.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s flagship comprehensive university and one of Asia’s leading institutions of higher learning. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate education across disciplines including business, computing, engineering, medicine, law, science, social sciences and the humanities. NUS combines rigorous teaching with research, innovation and international collaboration, and maintains partnerships with universities, governments and industry worldwide. Its main Kent Ridge campus is supported by extensive academic, residential, research and student facilities, with additional locations in Singapore. The university employs a diverse community of faculty, researchers, professional staff and students from many countries. Working at NUS can provide opportunities to contribute to education, research, student development and institutional growth in a multicultural and globally connected environment.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island with opportunities in education, technology, finance, healthcare, engineering, logistics, tourism and research. The culture is multicultural, shaped by Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences, with English widely used in workplaces. Lifestyle is convenient and generally safe, featuring efficient public transport, diverse food, shopping, parks and coastal areas, though housing and daily expenses can be high. Employment Passes are commonly used for professional roles, while S Passes may apply to eligible mid-skilled positions; approval depends on salary, qualifications, experience and employer sponsorship. New arrivals should arrange a job offer, verify pass eligibility, budget for accommodation and healthcare, and understand local employment regulations. Public transport makes most areas accessible without a car, and neighbourhoods such as Queenstown, Clementi and Buona Vista are convenient for NUS staff.
