CN Yang Scholars Programme

 

 

The CN Yang Scholars Programme is named in honour of Professor CN Yang, Nobel Laureate in Physics (1957), and one of the greatest scientists in our time. It is established to be the leading undergraduate programme for Science and Engineering students with a deep passion for science.

The programme shares the same core value as the Caltech Core Curriculum and the MIT General Institute Requirements in providing students with strong and broad foundation in the fundamentals of Science and Mathematics. This serves as the absolute backbone in providing students with the tools necessary to delve deeper into any discipline in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, allowing them the freedom and skills to develop on any exciting possibilities in research.

Upon completion of the core curriculum, students may undertake any Engineering or Science Degree Programme. Each student will be assigned a mentor who will provide invaluable guidance during the entire course of the student's academic programme at NTU. Students graduating from the challenging programme will also be awarded with a special certificate.
