Humanities Programme (HP)

As the first institution chosen by the Ministry of Education in 1980 for the Humanities Scholarship Programme (HSP), Hwa Chong has established and maintained its position as a leading centre for successful applications to top universities around the world. One of the key sources of this success is the HSP tutors who are specialists in their fields and are also experienced in providing advice on university placement and scholarships. Through an informal yet rigorous teaching style, our tutors encourage open discussions and intellectual exploration beyond the confines of the syllabus so that individuals become independent and driven self-directed learners. Each year, our scholars gain admission to top universities in the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries around the world including France, Germany, Australia, Canada, Japan and China. To date, well over 400 alumni have graduated from Oxford and Cambridge alone. Closer to home, we see increased enrolments in NUS, SMU and NTU. Over half of the students gain scholarships to study overseas or in Singapore.
