EXPANDING STUDENTS’ HORIZONS WITH SUTD’S EXTENSIVE GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS SUTD now partners 82 institutions in 26 countries to offer a variety of global opportunities for all students in our continued efforts to nurture a new generation of global citizens and innovators. Through these increased partner networks, our most sought-after Global Exchange Programme (GEXP) now offers 322 overseas semester exchange opportunities in 54 destinations across 18 countries, giving our students the opportunities to expand their classrooms beyond the shores of SUTD. In AY2023, 168 students participated in GEXP at 39 destinations. These international partnerships also enabled SUTD to offer more than 30 summer programmes in 13 countries with experiences ranging from coursework, entrepreneurship to research and cultural immersion opportunities. In AY2023, 196 students participated in 21 summer programmes. To encourage international diversity and interaction in our student community, we continue to welcome a diverse community of exceptional students from around the world through exchange partnerships to create a melting pot of cultures and ideas on campus, thereby bringing the world to SUTD. Since 2016, SUTD has hosted 453 exchange students from 46 partner universities. Particularly in AY2023, SUTD hosted 106 exchange students from 32 partner universities. The Freshmore Asian Crosscurricular Trips (FACT) programme that is exclusively available to SUTD Freshmore students offers students the opportunity to gain regional exposure in Asia as early as their first year with SUTD. The one-week joint immersion programmes co-created with our partner universities and hosted at their campuses aim to bring students from both institutions together in a multinational and multicultural setting to jointly accomplish an academic learning objective. By tying the trips with specific learning goals and outcomes of corresponding Freshmore courses, SUTD students gain academic mastery of the subject and awareness of the regions’ local context in addition to appreciating the cultural differences through their interaction with the local students and community. In AY2023, a total of 310 students participated in 12 FACT programmes. Looking at local student mobility, SUTD went on board the Singapore Universities Student Exchange Programme (SUSEP) in 2021, joining the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Management University. In 2022, the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) joined the programme, followed by the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), which came on board the programme in 2023. In AY2023, eight SUTD students participated in the programme and SUTD hosted nine students in return.
