The CN Yang Scholars Programme is a premier undergraduate programme at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) for science and engineering students. It shares the same philosophy as the Caltech Core Curriculum and the MIT General Institute Requirement in providing a strong and broad foundation in the basics of science and mathematics so as to empower them to delve deeper into any discipline in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and to develop an interest in forefront research. Welcome to a community of scholars!
