UWC Mission
The United World College movement
makes education a force to unite people,
nations and cultures for peace and a
sustainable future.
UWCSEA Educational Goal
We educate individuals to embrace
challenge and take responsibility for
shaping a better world.
Mission in action
College, Local, and Global Service
Students are committed to building deep
and sustained connections within the
Singapore community. All High School
students engage in service learning. Grade
11 students commit to weekly, year-long
service activities through the Local Service
programme supporting causes that
address income inequality, mental health,
eldercare, migrant workers, refugees,
and inclusion of people with disabilities.
Opportunities for service for all High
School students include local community
service, Global Concerns projects,
supporting environmental initiatives on
campus, and mentoring younger students.
Global Concerns (GC) projects focus on
communities and causes in developing
nations outside Singapore. Students
identify regional grassroots NGOs
to partner with and provide support
for environmental, human rights and
development projects in education, health
and empowerment.
other programme areas, for example
in the Drama, Languages or Outdoor
Education Departments, or on project-
based sustainability initiatives.
Sports, Arts, and
Leadership Programmes
The College has a robust sports and
performance programme. A wide array of
activities are offered including inter-school
sports competitions within Singapore and
internationally. Some students also engage
in supporting younger peers with sports
coaching and language lessons. In addition,
students have access to a diverse music
programme completed by a wide range of
ensembles to showcase their talent.
Awards/honours
UWCSEA Dover offers awards to students
in academics, activities, service, sports,
and the arts.
University advising policies
• students are limited to ten applications
worldwide
• we do not compute GPA or rank students
• in cases where universities require or
request, UWCSEA Dover reports all
out-of-school suspensions, exclusions
and withdrawals that arise as a result
of a disciplinary incident where the
incident raises significant concerns
about the future safety and wellbeing
of the student concerned or of those
with whom the student interacts; or
where the incident raises significant
concerns about the academic integrity
of the student
Initiative for Peace (IfP)
Initiative for Peace (IfP) is a transformative
programme undertaken by UWCSEA
students from both Dover and East
Campus. Students undergo a year of
training in conference facilitation, peace
and conflict negotiation and leadership,
delivered by UWCSEA staff and alumni
and visiting experts from NGOs. At the
end of the year IfP students travel to an
area of former or current conflict and lead
an intense week of workshops with young
people from diverse backgrounds, helping
them to learn they can instigate social
change in their community.
Project Week
Project Week allows Grade 11 students to
embark on worthwhile trips to pre-selected
projects overseas or within Singapore.
Students develop their competencies
in line with the UWCSEA mission. By
engaging in the College’s months-long
preparation programme they learn about
their ability to work effectively with others
beyond the classroom. They develop
teamwork, responsibility, interpersonal and
intercultural understanding and good trip
planning skills such as first aid, budgeting
and risk mitigation.
Gap Year and UWCSEA
Alumni Internships
Each year a number of UWCSEA graduates
undertake a Gap Year, some of whom
obtain internships through UWCSEA’s
Alumni network. UWCSEA’s Internship
programme provides a number of
graduates with opportunities to work at
the College in support of academic and
