Admissions – First Click, First Connection through UAS2 and GDA3

The NUS journey begins the moment students apply. This year, that first step became smoother, more intuitive and more reassuring with the enhanced University Admissions System 2 (UAS2) and the Graduate Admission System 3 (GDA3). UAS2 changes tasks that previously required multiple logins, scattered forms and manual checks to now go through a single, unified workflow. It provides undergraduate students with secure authentication and cleaner interfaces. An AI assistant built into selected forms offers instant guidance to aid faster decision-making while the connected backend systems quietly handle the complex work. Similarly, graduate applicants enjoy the same seamlessness through GDA3, which consolidates submissions, status tracking and offer acceptance into one polished space. New verification features powered by Parchment - a global credential management platform - strengthen the credibility of applications while keeping the process fast and interruption-free. “Transforming an institution-wide system was fostered by strong cross-department collaboration that enabled us to overcome challenges and drive the platform’s success. The recognition as a Gartner case study reaffirmed NUS’s position as a digital leader in higher education and validated the efforts of our teams!” - Ms Tan Shui-Min, Chief IT Officer, NUS
