National University of Singapore

The National University of Singapore is one of the highest-ranked universities worldwide, offering top programs in many fields of study. NUS is the top-ranked Asian school on our U.S. investment banking target school list.


NUS is one of just four Asian schools that consistently places into U.S. investment banks (alongside HKU, HKUST, and SMU). NUS is ranked #43 on our target school list, earning it a designation as a lower semi-target school.


NUS is home to the NUS Business School, one of the highest-ranked business schools in Asia. NUS offers programs for both undergraduate and graduate students.

NUS Campus

NUS ranks 36th on # of Total Hires but is held back by a relatively weaker Undergrad % Placement, in which it ranks 52nd.


NUS sends the largest number of hires to Citi (23%), Rothschild (14%), and Credit Suisse (14%). NUS has a better distribution of placements relative to the other Asian schools on this list, which primarily place at bulge bracket firms.


NUS has terrific placement in Asian markets and is one of the few international schools to consistently place in the U.S.
