Experience of entrepreneurship draws NUS students to NOC programme

WHEN Megan Tan was looking into universities for her education, the National University of Singapore Overseas Colleges (NOC) programme stood out in her mind.

“I knew for sure before going to university that I wanted at least one year of overseas experience within my tenure in university. So definitely that was one of the big factors that made me choose NUS,” she said.

The NOC programme offers students a chance to work in an overseas startup for a year as part of their university curriculum. NOC alumni include Carousell co-founder Quek Siu Rui, 99.co founder Darius Cheung and Patsnap founder Jeffrey Tiong.
