Who are we?

The International Relations Committee (IRC) serves as the bridge between NUSPS and the International Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation (IPSF), the leading international advocacy organisation for pharmacy and pharmaceutical science students worldwide. As a full-member association of IPSF under the Asia Pacific Regional Office (APRO), NUSPS is actively connected to a global network of pharmacy and pharmaceutical science undergraduates.

Through organising and participating in IPSF and IPSF APRO initiatives, the IRC provides students with opportunities to connect, collaborate, and engage with peers from around the world. Guided by our motto, “Bringing the world to NUSPS and NUSPS to the world,” we strive to foster meaningful international exposure for our members.
