Singapore University of Social Sciences

The vision of the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) is to be a university that inspires learning for life and impacts lives, regardless of age, background or life path. SUSS is a vibrant tapestry of ages and experiences, with more than 100 undergraduate and graduate programmes, available in full and part-time study modes which are flexible, modular and interdisciplinary, catering to both fresh school leavers and adult learners.

The Investment Office, under the guidance of the Investment Committee, is responsible for implementing and monitoring the investment programme to grow SUSS’s endowment fund over time, which will strengthen the university’s capability to support academic initiatives, benefit students who require financial assistance, and provide the capacity to meet emerging needs and opportunities.
