Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

A relatively young university, Nanyang Technological University of Singapore was established in 1991 as a teaching university. Now, the university has developed into a research-intensive global university that offers undergraduate and postgraduate education. NTU became autonomous in 2006 and is one of the two largest public universities in Singapore.

There are eight colleges and institutes across which undergraduate and postgraduate studies are offered: business; engineering; humanities, arts and social sciences; science; medicine; graduate studies; education; and international studies.

The university’s main campus in western Singapore is a "smart campus" and has achieved 61 Green Mark Platinum Awards for its buildings. The campus is home to both natural and man-mde works of art and even has a Campus Art Trail for students to explore.

Offering a holistic education, the university aims to give their graduates the 3 C’s: cognitive agility, character, and competence, which is done through interdisciplinary learning and experiential learning. NTU also collaborates with industries, organisations and universities globally to offer students overseas opportunities.

There is also a medical campus in Novena, known as Singapore’s healthcare district. NTU is home to institutes including the National Institute of Education, S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Earth Observatory of Singapore, and the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering.
