Nanyang Technological University

Inaugurated on 1 July 1991, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) started out as a teaching university which has today transformed into a research-intensive global university.

Its predecessor institution, Nanyang Technological Institute (NTI), was set up in 1981 on the grounds of the former Nanyang University to educate practice-oriented engineers for the burgeoning Singapore economy.

The NTU Education aims to inculcate in all NTU graduates the desired attributes of Cognitive Agility, Character and Competence or the 3 'C's. This entails having a flexible interdisciplinary curriculum design that encourages student-driven learning, and an inter-linked curriculum and co-curriculum programmes that are experiential and collaborative. The NTU Education is defined by two interrelated pillars – interdisciplinary learning, and experiential & collaborative learning.

At NTU, you will experience a curriculum designed to build both depth and versatility. Our graduate programmes emphasise practical, future-ready skills taught through real-world projects, industry engagement, and cutting-edge research. We are also home to renowned research institutes and state-of-the-art facilities that support meaningful, hands-on discovery.
