Nanyang Technological University(NTU) is a public university inSingapore.Founded in 1981, it is also the second-oldestautonomous universityin the country. NTU is frequently ranked within the world's top 30 universities according to most major international rankings,[5][6][7][8]and is widely-considered to be one of the two most prestigious universities in Singapore, the other being theNational University of Singapore.
The university is organised across numerous colleges and schools, including the College of Engineering, College of Science, Nanyang Business School,Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine,College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, Graduate College,National Institute of Education,andS. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.NTU is also home to several Research Centres of Excellence such as the Earth Observatory of Singapore and Singapore Centre on Environmental Life Sciences Engineering. NTU's main campus covers 200 hectares (490 acres) of land, making it the largest university campus in Singapore.[9]
The primary campus grounds are located in the western part of Singapore, along 50 Nanyang Avenue. It also has two other campuses in Singapore's healthcare and start-up districts,Novenaandone-northrespectively. As a large, comprehensive, university, it has 34,384 enrolled students, and 7,613 faculty and staff as of 2021.[10][11]
History[edit]
Nanyang University (1960–1980)[edit]
In 1955, prior to Singapore's independence from the British, Nanyang University was established south of the current Nanyang Technological University campus, with the centre of the present Yunnan Garden as its heart. Its administration building currently houses the Chinese Heritage Centre, anational monument.
Renaming and merger (1980)[edit]
Although NTU occupies the grounds of the former Nanyang University (NU), and has a similar name, it is not a direct continuation of that institution. In 1980, theGovernment of Singaporemerged Nanyang University with theUniversity of Singaporeto form the present-dayNational University of Singapore(NUS). This was a source of significant discontent amongst NU students and alumni, because NU had been a Chinese-medium university, whereas the newly merged NUS was (and is) an English-medium university.[citation needed]
As NTU subsequently grew into a full university, various efforts were made to have it claim the Nanyang University mantle. In 1996, the alumni rolls of Nanyang University were transferred from NUS to NTU. In 1998, the prominent local calligrapher and poet Pan Shou, who had been the first vice-chancellor of Nanyang University, called for NTU to be renamed Nanyang University, as a way to "quieten the hearts of many" NU alumni.[12][better source needed]In 2003, this idea received further support from NTUpresidentSu Guaning,during an interview with the Chinese-language paperLianhe Zaobao.One reason offered for the renaming was that, by the mid-2000s, NTU no longer had a narrow focus on technical subjects, but had become a full university including studies in thehumanities.[citation needed]
Nanyang Technological Institute (1981–1991)[edit]
In 1980, Nanyang University merged with the University of Singapore to form the currentNational University of Singapore.Nanyang Technological Institute (NTI), a tertiary institution affiliated to the National University of Singapore, was formed to take over Nanyang University's campus in 1981.[13][14]
Nanyang Technological Institute (NTI) was set up on 1 August 1981 with a charter to train three-quarters of Singapore’s engineers. When NTI started in 1982, it had a total student population of 582 in three engineering disciplines – civil and structural, electrical and electronic, and mechanical and production engineering. By 1990, the institute’s undergraduate student population had grown to 6,832. The first two graduate students were admitted in 1986.
Three engineering schools were added, and the School of Accountancy from the National University of Singapore was transferred to NTI in 1987. A school of applied science was also started. In 1990, the government announced that the Institute of Education would be merged with the College of Physical Education to form the National Institute of Education and that it would be part of the new NTU upon its establishment in 1991.
Present form[edit]
In 1991, NTI merged with theNational Institute of Education (NIE)(founded in 1950) to form the Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The alumni rolls of the former Nanyang University were transferred to NTU in 1996. Historically, Nanyang Technological University admitted students jointly with the affiliatedNational University of Singaporeand charged the same fees. Students made only one application and they would be accepted by either university. This arrangement ended in 2004 as both universities began to distinguish themselves with an end of its official affiliation. Currently, students apply separately to both universities.[13][14]NTU became autonomous in 2006 and stands as one of the two largest public universities in Singapore today.[15]
NTU is currently a collaborative member of Singapore International Graduate Award for PhD applicants worldwide, which comprises Agency for Science, Technology & Research (A*STAR), the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).[16][citation needed]
In 2013, there was a debate overacademic freedomin Singapore whenCherian George,an outspoken academic at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communications and a government critic, did not get tenured.[17]Although George had been recommended for tenure by the Wee Kim Wee School, his application was turned down by a university-level committee which included representatives from theGovernment of Singapore.[18]Despite a petition against the tenure decision by students at the Wee Kim Wee School, George's appeal against the tenure decision was subsequently rejected by the university.[19]
In 2021, some applications for on-campus hostel accommodations in NTU were rejected due toCOVID-19isolation protocols.[20]The university claimed that the rejections were due to a shortage of housing facilities, which at full capacity was still unable to house every applicant, as rooms were oversubscribed.[21]Such rejections resulted in concerns, especially among international students, as it resulted in many returning second-year students enrolled in for 2020 to 2021 not being granted campus accommodation despite the university's much-publicised policy of guaranteeing all incoming students with a minimum of two years of on-campus accommodation.[22]NTU eventually reversed their decision on 2 July 2021, prioritising on-campus accommodations for international students that resided on campus at the time, students under scholarship programmes with guaranteed housing, and all Year 1 and 2 students under the guaranteed hall stay policy.[23]
Coat of arms[edit]
On its foundation in July 1991, NTU adopted the Coat of Arms granted to NTI (by theCollege of Armsof the United Kingdom in November 1982) as its coat of arms.
The Coat of Arms consists of a heraldic shield divided into two sections: the lower portion shows a stalking lion facing the spectator on a white background and the upper portion two atomic symbols, one on either side of a cog-wheel above a battlement on a red background.[24][25]
It isblazoned:
Argent a lion passant guardant proper on a chief embattled gules a cog-wheel between two conventional representations of an atom argent.
The lion represents close links between NTI and NUS, the battlement represents School of Civil and Structural Engineering, the atoms represents School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the cogwheel represents School of Mechanical and Production Engineering.
Campuses[edit]
Landscape and architecture[edit]
NTU has been listed as one of the World's Most Beautiful Universities, featuring the ADM building in the report.[26] It has also been listed in "The 10 most beautiful universities in East Asia", featuringthe Learning Hubbuilding.[27] During NTI period between 1981 and 1982, the main campus layout including the building complex, the so-called North Spine, has been designed byKenzō Tange,[28]world-renowned Japanese architect and 1987 winner of thePritzker Prize.The North Spine has been officially opened in 1986.[29]The ADM building,featured in "Travel + Lesiure" report,[26]has been designed by a young Singaporean architect Lee Cheng Wee. [30]The Learning Hub building, also calledthe Hive,featured in "Times Higher Education" report,[27]has been designed by a British designerThomas Heatherwick.[31]
Yunnan Garden Campus[edit]
The main campus of Nanyang Technological University is the 200-hectare (2.0 km2;0.77 sq mi) Yunnan Garden Campus (Chinese:Vân nam viên) which is situated adjacent to the town ofJurong West.It is the largest university campus on the island ofSingapore,housing Singapore's largest on-campus residence infrastructure including 24 halls of residence for undergraduates and two graduate halls.
The campus grounds were originally donated by the Singapore Hokkien Association toNanyang University.In 1981, the Nanyang University grounds were granted to theNanyang Technological Institute,a newly formed English-medium engineering college. With the formation of the NTU through NTI's merger with theNational Institute of Education(NIE), the grounds were then presented to the university.
The formerNanyang Universityadministration building was restored into the Chinese Heritage Centre and was gazetted as anational monumentin 1998 – now overlooking the Yunnan Garden. As of 2019, the Yunnan Garden is undergoing major renovations that will be completed in 2021. However some of it has been partially opened to the public in early 2020.[citation needed]The Nanyang University Memorial and original Nanyang University Arch were also declared national monuments of Singapore in 1998. The NTU Art & Heritage Museum is an approved public museum under the National Heritage Board’s Approved Museum Scheme; benefactors who donate artworks and artefacts to NTU enjoy double tax deductions. There is a small lake between the Chinese Heritage Centre and Hall of Residence 4 called Nanyang Lake. Only members of NTU Anglers' Club permit holder, the fishing club at NTU, are allowed to fish in this lake.[32]
The campus also served as the Youth Olympic Village for the inauguralYouth Olympic Gamesin 2010.[33]
Novena Campus[edit]
A third campus, Novena Campus, is situated close to LKCMedicine’s partner teaching hospital,Tan Tock Seng Hospitalin downtownNovenafor medical teaching and research at theLee Kong Chian School of Medicine.The new 20-storey Clinical Sciences Building was completed in 2016. The CSB is home to LKCMedicine researchers, with the laboratories interconnected through collaborative spaces.[citation needed]
Undergraduate halls[edit]
NTU has 23 Halls of Residence for undergraduates, each with a capacity of between 500 and 659 residents. They accommodate 14,000 local and international students,[34]with every freshman guaranteed a hostel room. All halls are co-ed by floor or wing and offer single and double occupancy rooms. Double rooms are shared by residents of the same gender. Every hall has communal facilities like lounges, air-conditioned reading rooms, pantries and laundry rooms with washing machines and dryers. Presently, freshmen students will be guaranteed a room for two years.[35]
Transportation[edit]
Transportation to and around NTU is provided by means of campus shuttle buses.[36]The Campus Loop Red and Blue services circle the campus, while the Campus Rider service connects the campus to thePioneer MRT station.

Colleges and schools[edit]
NTU is organised into several colleges and schools, each corresponding to different fields of study.[37]The founding colleges include the College of Engineering, Nanyang Business School, Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, and theNational Institute of Education,which have been part of NTU since its inception in 1991. More recently, NTU has established additional schools for the Biological Sciences (2001), Humanities and Social Sciences (2004), Physical & Mathematical Sciences (2005),S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies(2007), and Art, Design and Media (2009). In 2013, NTU andImperial College Londonjointly established a new medical school, theLee Kong Chian School of Medicine,on the Novena campus along 11 Mandalay Road.[38][39]In October 2016, the university announced that Humanities and Social Sciences would be expanded into two separate schools, namely the School of Humanities and the School of Social Sciences.
Nanyang Business School[edit]
Nanyang Business School (NBS) is the largest business school in Singapore[40][41]with over 6,800 undergraduates and postgraduates. It is also the No.1 business school in Singapore and 3rd in the Asia-Pacific region according to the Financial Times. For 13 consecutive years since 2004, the Nanyang MBA has been ranked the best in Singapore according to The Economist. NBS has more than 160 professors from more than 20 countries, proficient in 30 languages holding doctorates from the most renowned universities in the world. This makes NBS one of the largest business schools in the world in terms of faculty strength.[42][43]
NBS also houses the 165-square meter Centre for Applied Financial Education, the largest finance lab in Singapore. The new lab is equipped with 60 dedicated Thomson Reuters Eikon terminals with Datastream, along with 24 Bloomberg terminals that will allow business school students to access all kinds of real-time financial, economic and business news information.[44]
College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences[edit]
HASS consists of four schools:
- The Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information is a school ofcommunication studiesand offers courses inJournalism,Broadcast,Advertising,Communication PolicyandInformation Studies.It originally established in 1992 and it was named after Singapore's former presidentWee Kim Weein 2006.
