NUS Press enacts the National University of Singapore’s vision of being “a leading global university, shaping the future”, by supporting cosmopolitan forms of scholarly communication. For us this means acquiring, marketing and selling our books around the world, in tune with the broad priorities of English-language scholarship in the social science and humanities disciplines, while being particularly attentive to the needs and priorities of those researchers, writers and readers vitally concerned with Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Our books, journals and digital products further the university’s mission of education, inspiration and transformation by gathering and creating diverse “publics”, communities of readers, be they researchers, teachers, students, alumni or citizens. While we operate as a private limited company under Singapore law, we are 100% owned by the National University of Singapore and we operate on a not-for-profit basis.
