      About Nanyang Technological University | NTU |  
     

While NTU repositions itself for the knowledge-based economy, with science and engineering remaining at its core, no less important are the other professional schools that have established, or are in the process of establishing, an international reputation.

NTU was ranked 48th globally by The Times Higher Education Supplement in the 2005 ranking of the world's best universities. Placed 26th among technology universities, NTU remains well within the upper echelons of the world's best science and tech universities.

NTU has a strong engineering college ranked among the best in the Commonwealth; a business school with one of the top 100 MBA programs in the world; an internationally acclaimed National Institute of Education; one of the best Schools of Communications & Information in Asia; and a School of Biological Sciences playing a leading role in Singapore's Life Sciences initiative. The Institute of Defence & Strategic Studies is an international authority on terrorism. Over 2004 and 2005, three new Schools were added - the School of Humanities & Social Sciences, the School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences and the School of Art, Design & Media.

The 200-ha residential campus, located in the south-western part of Singapore, was originally developed by the Chinese community for a Chinese language university, Nanyang University in 1955. The university was established with donations from people from all walks of life and of all ethnicities in the region. In 1981, Nanyang Technological Institute was established on this campus to educate engineers for the rapidly developing Singapore economy. In 1991, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) was inaugurated and in April 2006, NTU was corporatised as an autonomous university.

Focused on grooming global leaders ready for success in the high-tech economy of the 21st century, NTU launched The New Undergraduate Experience in 2003 to provide students a strong, broad academic foundation, professional preparation, global immersion and an unforgettable campus experience. While NTU's broad-based education that covers science and technology, business and the arts, entrepreneurial and leadership skills, prepare students for the global working world, its students also hone their leadership skills through residential living and self-governance. Not surprisingly, graduates of the university are sought-after and well-paid.

Strong international relationships and collaboration programmes is also a hallmark of the university. This includes the Singapore-MIT Alliance, Singapore-Stanford Partnership, Cornell-Nanyang Institute of Hospitality Management, Singapore-University of Washington Alliance in Bioengineering and in Financial Engineering with Carnegie Mellon University. NTU has also in place Global Immersion Programmes (GIP) with Peking University, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, University of Washington and Georgia Institute of Technology, universities in France, Sweden, Switzerland, and soon, India. GIP, which offers an exceptional multi-country experience of language, culture, industry and entrepreneurship, will cover 13 cities in five countries by 2006.
