School of Continuing and Lifelong Education

The National University of Singapore's School of Continuing and Lifelong Education (SCALE) was established in June 2016. It has curated a series of academic programs for outstanding global youth, aiming to expand knowledge, enhance innovative potential, instill a sense of global responsibility, and comprehensively cultivate 21st-century competencies. Through the innovative culture, outstanding academic influence, and global responsibility of the National University of Singapore, SCALE seeks to empower students in navigating the digital age and developing essential skills for the 21st century.

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) was established in 1929 and is one of the largest faculties at NUS. FASS focuses on in-depth research in the fields of Asian Studies, Humanities, Social Sciences and Languages. The faculty is committed to exploring cutting-edge disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, continually expanding the boundaries of knowledge. In 2013, FASS launched the FASStrack Asia: The Winter School, dedicated to providing high-quality academic courses for outstanding young talents worldwide. The programme aims to enhance participants' competitiveness and offers a variety of thematic courses taught by esteemed faculty.

—  Course Content —

In this age of ubiquitous data, how do we make sense of all this readily accessible but often overwhelming quantitative information that we encounter every day? To systematically extract insights from data? To"reason" with data? We can think of quantitative reasoning as applying a certain set of logic that allows us to work with data. The insights developed through such an application can help us to answer questions that we are invested in, to support or invalidate preconceived hypotheses, and provide evidence to advance our arguments. Through this journey of reasoning quantitatively, we will illuminate how we can both be critical consumers, as well as actively engage with, this precious resource that is data.

Reference Teaching Themes
● How to reason with data
● Cleaning and exploring our data
● Using our sample and assessing the findings
● Investigating trends and relationships
● Reviewing our quantitative analyses
* The above are teaching themes from previous years' NUS programmes, provided for reference.
Is the vaccine difcult to produce? Why is it taking so long for humans to receive vaccines? What is the procedure for animals testing? Is it ethical to experiment on animals? This course takes students on a journey through the ethical problems in vaccine and drug development, as well as the rules and guidelines for conducting experiments involving humans and animals research in vivo.

The programme will also discuss the fundamentals of cellular and molecular biology (e.g. how viruses entry the host and interact with host cells).

Reference Teaching Themes
● The foundation knowledge of cell and molecular biology
● Virus Action Research
● Mathematical Modelling of Epidemics Workshop
● Bioinformatics
● Life Sciences and Ethics
* The above are teaching themes from previous years' NUS programmes, provided for reference.

In this course, students will gain insights into the latest artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. They will grasp the fundamental principles of artificial intelligence and machine learning and their practical applications in various modern businesses. Students will understand how machine learning can enhance operational performance and efficiency in business. Mentors will guide students in becoming familiar with the Orange Interface (an open source data visualization and machine learning modeling tool) and understanding the entire process, from data import and preprocessing to model training and evaluation.

Reference Teaching Themes
● Introduction to AI
● AI Applications: State of the ar
● Machine learning and Deep learning

● How to install and use Orange
● Clustering, Function Estimation, Classification and KNN
* The above are teaching themes from previous years' NUS programmes, provided for reference.

This course aims to familiarize students with nanosystems and the various achievements in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Nanoscience, as an interdisciplinary subject, encompasses multiple fields such as chemistry, biology, physics, materials science, and engineering. By studying the extraordinary properties of nanomaterials, it is possible to achieve functionalities and applications that conventional materials cannot attain, thereby driving leaps in technological advancements across various domains. Through this course, students will gain an understanding of the foundational theoretical knowledge of nanotechnology and how humans manipulate and comprehend substances at the molecular level, creating new artificial structures. This process significantly improves mechanical, chemical, electrical, optical, and biological properties across various domains.
Reference Teaching Themes
● Nanoscience and Materials
● Applications of Nanotechnology
● Exploration of Optical Microscope Techniques
● Exploration of Optical Microscope Techniques
● Focused Laser Beam Techniques
● Methods for Fabricating Nanostructures
* The above are teaching themes from previous years' NUS programmes, provided for reference.
Students will study specialised courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and economic theory, gaining insights into the pivotal role of the social market system in balancing the continually growing demand with limited resources. By analysing real-world cases and current economic policies, students will delve deeper into the behaviours of individuals, decision-makers, and businesses within the economic framework. They will understand the overall impact of economic policies on society, and acquire knowledge about the trends in societal behaviours, resource allocation, and the development of market systems.
Reference Teaching Themes
● Economic Policies
● Microeconomics
● Macroeconomics
● Economic Theory
● The Impact of Economic Decision-Making
● Economic Choices in a Globalized Context
* The above are teaching themes from previous years' NUS programmes, provided for reference.
Psychology is a discipline that studies human thought, emotions, and behaviour. In this course, students will explore the crucial role of cognitive processes in human behaviour, emotions, and interpersonal relationships. Through the method of dichotomous comparisons, students will differentiate fundamental concepts such as nature versus nurture, automaticity versus control, gaining an understanding of the impact of psychology on human perception, behaviour, and decision-making. Students will attempt to analyse the underlying reasons behind human behaviour using the knowledge acquired, stepping beyond.
Reference Teaching Themes
● Psychological Analysis
● Classic Theories in Psychology
● Scientific Research in the Field of Psychology
● Modern Impact of Technology on Psychology
● Truth Behind Human Thought and Behavior
● Influence of Social Networks
