Abstract

At present, the National University of Singapore (NUS) offers over a hundred general education (GEM, GEK: General Education/Knowledge Modules) modules, covering a broad range of topics. GEMs are part of the NUS curriculum to foster well-rounded, balanced and holistically developed individuals. GEMs are more ‘broad’ than ‘deep’, and are meant for students to explore, experience and perhaps even develop a new appreciation for topics that they would otherwise shy away from.
