More glamorously, 17 graduates were accepted by the National University of Singapore (NUS), accounting for 46% of the number of EMS graduates and 68% of those who went on to higher education, a new record high! In addition, two outstanding graduates were admitted to Imperial College of Science and Technology in the United Kingdom, which also set a new high for EMS to be admitted by this school; one outstanding graduate was admitted to ETH Zurich, which realized a breakthrough of zero!
In terms of the QS ranking (2026) of the admitted universities, 76% of the graduates who chose to go on to higher education were admitted by the top 10 QS universities, 84% by the top 20 QS universities, 92% by the top 50 QS universities, and 96% by the top 100 QS universities, which is a new record high in each of these categories!
