Nanyang Technological University


Welcome to Nanyang Technological University (NTU). NTU is an internationally reputed research-intensive tertiary institution. Our broad-based education covers science and technology, business and the arts, entrepreneurial and leadership skills to prepare students for the global working world.

Welcome to Nanyang Technological University, Singapore!

Founded in 1955 with funds from millionaires down to the humble trishaw rider, we began as Nanyang University, a university created by the people, for the people. More than half a century later, NTU stands as a worthy successor on the original Yunnan Garden campus, with additional presence in other parts of Singapore, and in China, Europe, India and the United States. We aspire to nurture entrepreneurial leaders through a broad education in diverse disciplines.

While dominated by one of the largest engineering colleges in the world and a top-ranked business school, we have expanded our offerings considerably with the establishment of the College of Science and the College of Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences. The Yunnan Garden campus is now a cosmopolitan hub with 23,000 undergraduates and 10,000 graduate students from across the globe. Today, we are ranked among the top 26 technology universities in the world and well within the top 100 among comprehensive universities.

As a multi-cultural research university, we are reaching out to the key regions of the world – the United States, Europe, China, India, and beyond, establishing a strong international reputation that has drawn some of the world’s finest researchers and academics to our shores. Today, we have 11 Nobel laureates on the Board of our Institute of Advanced Studies and academic leaders such as Provost Bertil Andersson, a Trustee of the Nobel Foundation. Many other faculty members of high world reputation have joined us, one of whom is eminent geologist Kerry Sieh, who moved from Caltech to NTU to head the Earth Observatory of Singapore, building the Earth Sciences discipline here. Bringing a formidable one-two punch to NTU’s initiatives in New Media are Vibeke Sorensen, the former Chair of the Department of Media in the College of Arts & Sciences at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann, founding Director of MIRALab at the University of Geneva. Prof Sorensen chairs our pioneering art, design and media school, while Prof Magnenat-Thalmann heads the multidisciplinary Institute for Media Innovation.

NTU students benefit from our broad-based education, internship opportunities, global experience and undergraduate research projects. Our Global Immersion Programme offers international experience of up to a year in two locations. The locations include cities and universities in the United States, Europe, China, India, or Vietnam. Vibrant student activities provide opportunities for leadership and team-building.

We invite you to come stroll around our garden campus of gently rolling hills. Come experience for yourself the vibrant campus community. Join the fun and games of our student residents and interact with the hundreds of international faculty living on campus.

NASA Launches Students into Orbit

In a 20-foot vertical spin tunnel at the NASA Langley Research Center, aerospace technologist Steve Riddick tests free-flying models of fighter aircraft, transport vehicles and capsule vehicles to see how they perform under different conditions. “It’s one of the better places to give a tour because there’s a lot of visual stimulation with that tunnel,” Riddick said. “You get to actually see something going on, as opposed to some computer collecting data.” And that’s what STEM is all about. As the United States focuses more on these academic subjects, NASA is on a mission to engage students, educators and families in STEM fields, as well as to strengthen the future workforce of the organization and the nation. Almost half of NASA’s current workforce consists of baby boomers, and by the end of fiscal year 2010, more than 20 percent of the organization’s workers will be eligible to retire, according to a 2008 presentation by Toni Dawsey, assistant administrator for human capital manage

Grant Attracts Minorities to STEM Fields

The University of Texas at El Paso has received a five-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for nearly $2.9 million. The “Science for a Sustainable Future: Developing the Next Generation of Diverse Scientists” award will provide fellowships to minority graduate students in NSF-supported disciplines such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The doctoral students will build their science and teaching portfolios and bring their leading research findings into K-12 learning settings in an effort to inspire the next generation of scientists. The fellows will serve as a STEM resource for El Paso’s Early College High School (ECHS) science teachers and as mentors for the students, helping them build practical understandings of science. “This success in securing federal funding from the National Science Foundation is a good example of the quality of competitive proposals UTEP faculty generate, integrating education and research benefiting our students an
