Almost half of the pioneer batch of Yale-NUS graduates have secured jobs. Another one-fifth have received offers to pursue graduate studies.

Of those who have gotten job offers, a quarter will be working in the government as public servants and another quarter will work in consulting. Other popular options include becoming teachers, bankers and working in technology.

Yale-NUS was established in 2011 and admitted its first batch of students in 2013.

Education Minister (Higher Education and Skills) Ong Ye Kung said that the college has come a long way from 2008, when plans for its establishment were first mooted.

President Tony Tan Keng Yam, who is the NUS chancellor, and Yale University’s president emeritus Richard Levin, were present at the Yale-NUS graduation ceremony held recently at the University Cultural Centre.
