NTU Scholarships - more on NTU Scholarship
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is a research-intensive university with globally acknowledged strengths in science and engineering. The university has roots that go back to 1955 when Nanyang University was set up. Today, NTU has four colleges with 12 schools, and three autonomous entities, the National Institute of Education, the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, and the Earth Observatory of Singapore.
NTU provides a high-quality global education to more than 23,000 undergraduates and 10,000 graduate students. The student body includes top scholars and international olympiad medallists from the region and beyond.
NTU’s global reputation attracts faculty, students and partnerships from Asia, North America, Europe and beyond. Hailing from 67 countries, the university's 3,000-strong teaching and research staff bring dynamic international perspectives and years of solid industry experience.
Diverse disciplines for diverse talents
NTU is in the top 100 of the world’s universities, according to the 2009 Times Higher Education-Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings.
NTU has five distinct programmes that allow students to study, do research and work overseas. Among these are the Global Immersion Programme, with four different work/study/research options with leading companies and partner-universities in Asia, Europe and North America. Currently, 43% of undergraduates enjoy overseas exposure, which helps them acquire a global mindset.
Distinctive edge in science and engineering; Nobel boost
As the main science and technology university in Singapore, NTU has made substantial contributions to Singapore’s drive for research and innovation spearheaded by the National Research Foundation (NRF), particularly in the high-investment areas of biomedical sciences, environmental and water technologies, and interactive and digital media. Students interested in research can take part in the Undergraduate Research Experience on Campus programme. High-caliber students with a deep passion for science and technology also have the option to pursue the CN Yang Scholars Programme, a premier undergraduate programme that prepares science and engineering talents for top graduate schools.
In February 2010, NTU was globally ranked 8th out of 1,084 institutions that had attracted the highest total citations to their papers published in Thomson Reuters-indexed engineering journals, with 5,912 papers cited a total of 28,516 times.
Campuses
NTU's main 200-ha garden campus - housing Singapore's largest on-campus residence infrastructure including 16 halls of residence for undergraduates and a graduate hall - is located in the southwestern part of Singapore. Besides the Yunnan Garden campus, NTU has another campus, NTU@one-north, located next to the Biopolis, Singapore's biomedical research hub, and Fusionopolis, a new epicentre of engineering and physical sciences.
