NUS Students' Political Association

The NUS Students' Political Association (NUSPA) seeks to cultivate political awareness through quality events, encourage the active discussion of current affairs, and provide the NUS student body with a platform for intellectual engagement. We aim to be the leading student organisation for political engagement. NUSPA is a non-partisan student organisation established in 1976 that seeks to cultivate political awareness in the NUS student body. It holds a unique position as one of the only student-based platforms that allow for political expression and engagement. Our events engage undergraduates in discussions and competitions with prominent personalities from the political, corporate and civil scene, where we hope to encourage vibrant socio-political discourse. These include the Kent Ridge Ministerial Forum, ASEAN Forum, Top Guns Forum, Chancellor’s Challenge Shield and the Debate Series. In addition to these, we implement additional projects yearly in order to provide students with a greater range of options to meet their interests. We also have a publication, The Convergence, which features a range of intellectual and opinion articles by students and leading political commentators.
