SINGAPORE - A new university called the University of the Arts Singapore will open its doors in August 2024.formed by an alliance between Lasalle College of the Arts and the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts
Lasalle has partnered Goldsmiths University in London to validate its degrees since 2012, and Nafa started similar arrangements with Britain's Royal College of Music in 2011 and the University of the Arts London in January last year. The new university, which was mooted by then Education Minister Lawrence Wong at last year's budget debate, will be a company limited by guarantee and continue to provide government-subsidised diplomas and degrees, MOE said.
Adopting this model - where Nafa and Lasalle remain separate but overseen by the new university - will allow the institutions to keep their distinct identity and heritage while elevating them, said MOE.An MOE spokesman said:"Singapore's future economy will need talent not only from the science, technology and mathematics disciplines, but also from the arts and humanities, and that is where UAS will come in to nurture them.
Key leadership positions have been filled, said the statement, with appointments taking effect from the start of September.
