On 6 March 2025, during MOE’s Committee of Supply debate, Minister Chan Chun Sing officially announced that SUSS will be building its new campus in Rochor. This follows Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s mention in his Budget speech on 18 February 2025 that SUSS will have a “new city campus.”

This prime city location will significantly enhance accessibility for our students and learners. With seamless connectivity, it will better serve our full-time undergraduates, part-time undergraduates, postgraduates, and lifelong learners, enabling more Singaporeans to benefit from SUSS’ applied education and professional development opportunities. 

A flagship campus in the heart of the city will also bring SUSS closer to industry and community partners. This will create more opportunities for collaboration, applied research, and meaningful engagement, reinforcing our role in lifelong learning and societal impact. 

Rochor: Our New Home in the City

Located within Singapore’s Central Area, Rochor is a vibrant hub of Connections, Community, Opportunities, and Inspiration. As a district rich in arts, culture, and education, it reflects the very spirit of SUSS: forward-thinking, dynamic, and deeply engaged with society. 

Being in Rochor is not just about inhabiting a new space. It is about new possibilities and a chance to shape a future where we can continue to learn, grow, and contribute back to society.
