About UWCSEA
UWCSEA provides a challenging, holistic education with an emphasis on academic achievement, service to others, teamwork and leadership. The College has two campuses in Singapore – Dover and East. Both campuses are overseen by our Head of College and have the same Board of Governors. However, each campus has its own academic and administrative staff to support the delivery of UWCSEA's world-class education.
Together on both campuses, UWCSEA enrols over 5,600 students from K–12. The East Campus opened in 2011 and graduated its first Grade 12 cohort in May 2014. Please see our UWCSEA East School Profile to learn more.

By public transport
Public transport in Singapore is affordable, reliable, and easy to understand. Buses and MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) trains form Singapore's main public transport system. Single-trip tickets cost from $0.95 to $2.20 plus a $1 refundable deposit, just insert your used ticket into the ticketing machine to get your dollar back. All services are integrated, even if the lines are operated by different transport companies, so no need to buy a new ticket to transfer. You should be able to use your credit card or Apple Pay to tap and pay. If this is not working, seek assistance at an MRT station, they may be able to troubleshoot for you.
Google Maps does a good job of giving you public transport routes and journey times. You can download the app SG Buses if you want to know when your bus will arrive at the bus stop, so convenient!
