### Publicly-funded private university: University of the Arts Singapore

In March 2021, Minister for Education Lawrence Wong announced that Singapore’s first arts university will be established in an alliance between the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and LASALLE College of the Arts, in a system akin to the University of the Arts, London.[16] The formation of the University of the Arts Singapore (UAS)[17] will see both colleges under the umbrella university be given degree-awarding powers independent of their current foreign partners, where the current long-distance degrees are issued through foreign universities. Singaporeans and permanent residents (PRs) enrolled in the approved degree programmes at the university of the arts will pay subsidised fees, comparable to those at autonomous universities here.[18]

The seventh local university of Singapore will be the only publicly-funded private university other than the now defunct and restructured UniSIM in Singapore, and also the only university of the arts with its own degree-conferring power in Singapore slated to open in 2024.[17]

Constituent colleges:

* Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts
* LASALLE College of the Arts

## Defunct universities

* Nanyang University (Merged with the University of Singapore to form the National University of Singapore in 1980.)
* SIM University (Restructured into the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) and brought under the ambit of the Ministry of Education in 2017.)[19]
