Welcome from President

At NTU, we offer our students, faculty, staff and visitors a unique experience that they will not easily forget.

NTU"s main campus, the Yunnan Garden campus, is set in the lush greenery of a garden campus. NTU is the largest residential university in Singapore, offering students a unique opportunity to live, learn, grab the leadership opportunities we offer, and to take part in the vibrant campus life. In May 2007, NTU opened its second campus in Singapore, the NTU@one-north campus, located strategically in the R & D hub of Singapore. These local campuses complement overseas campuses in the US, Europe, India and China hosted by well-known partner universities such as Georgia Institute of Technology in the US, the University of St Gallen in Switzerland, and Indian Institute of Technology and Peking University in Asia. NTU students attend courses at these campuses for six months to a year under NTU"s global immersion initiative.

NTU is more than a place where our students earn a degree. It is a place where they can begin to lay the foundation for successful careers; a place where they begin their future. We nurture creative and entrepreneurial leaders, the crucial element for progress in society. Our students also reap the benefits of a residential education with numerous opportunities to hone social skills and teamwork.

An NTU education primes students for success in a fast-paced, high-tech global economy. We offer our students opportunities to explore their interests, build on their knowledge and engage in cutting-edge research.

Here at NTU, we develop our students to be creative and entrepreneurial leaders through a broad-based education in diverse disciplines. On the academic side, our students have a wide array of degree programmes, majors and minors to choose from. They also have opportunities for international exposure and a rich cultural and educational experience through our immersion programmes where we partner top universities worldwide.

On the research side, we offer our students ample opportunities to engage in research, and to work closely with faculty members as research partners. In this way, they too can be active contributors in the international and vibrant research landscape of Singapore.

Take a stroll around our lovely campuses and experience for yourself the NTU experience, and the rich cultural diversity offered by the university. This is a vibrant, pulsating community in pursuit of knowledge and success. An education at NTU is clearly an investment of a lifetime.
