University of the Arts Singapore

The University of the Arts Singapore (UAS) is Singapore's first university of the arts. It was formally announced in 2021, as an alliance between LASALLE College of the Arts (LASALLE) and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA). Under this arrangement, the two institutions operate as distinct entities yet allows students to access opportunities from both schools. The UAS office is located at the National Design Centre in Middle Road, amidst the arts and heritage precinct of Bras Basah Bugis. UAS commenced its inaugural intake in August 2024 and confers degrees as Singapore's 7th University.
