    This document outlines a group's position for an assessment on the issue of whether a university degree should be the only consideration for employment. The group, representing a school stakeholder position, claims that a university degree should be the only requirement. It provides two main reasons to support this claim. First, it argues that universities provide opportunities for global experience and internships that benefit students. It provides two examples of university programs that allow this. Second, it argues that universities provide exposure to real-world applications, better preparing students for their careers. It gives two examples of student projects partnering with organizations to apply classroom learning.

    4) Reason #1 and elaboration:

    As a university, we provide students with opportunities to gain a global perspective and


    experience through internship programmes, overseas learning exchange ,etc.

    Evidence #1:

    Nanyang Technological University (NTU) students were given a chance to work with Chinese
    Alibaba Group to research on how to improve the delivery of services such as healthcare and city
    planning using AI. NTU president, Professor Subra Suresh, mentioned that this would give them
    an opportunity to connect their basic research in the lab with real life applications that have
    immediate societal impact.

    Evidence #2:

    National University of Singapore (NUS) overseas college programme allows student to take on
    the role of an entrepreneur at innovative start-ups, while attending course at global partner
    universities in South-East Asian countries, Europe or North America. This programme teaches
    students to become independent as they are being forced out of their comfort zone and also
    gain exposure on the job culture overseas, and gain greater exposure on how they function
    differently.

    5) Reason #2 and elaboration:

    As a University, we provide students with opportunities to come in contact with real life
    applications which gives them a better idea of what they should expect when they enter the
    working industry.

    Evidence #1:

    Students from Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and NUS demonstrated
    the creative use of space in land-scarce Singapore at the Singapore Pavilion’s No More Free
    Space? Showcase. These projects exposes students to the current needs of Singapore and thus
    allowing them to think deeper from what they learn in lectures and apply it in real life
    applications.

    space-at-venice-biennale

    Evidence #2:

    Students from the SUTD is collaborating with HDB to carry out an extensive research called the
    New Urban Kampung Programme. The research is made to develop smarter HDB twons to make
    them more liveable, efficient, sustainable and safe. This gives students a chance to make use of
    their creativity and resourcefulness.
