About the Scholarship:

Nanyang Technological University, with its campus in Yunnan Garden, was founded in 1955. In 1980, it merged with the University of Singapore to establish the National University of Singapore. Three engineering colleges and the Department of Applied Sciences have been added to the Nanyang University campus by the Singapore University. The University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University split up in 2004 to become two separate universities. Nanyang Technological University honors students and faculty members who have made significant contributions to the university. It also honors members who have worked for the university for more than ten years with Long-Service Awards. The institution, which is located in Singapore’s south-west region, has two campuses. The university’s main campus, located in Yunnan Garden, is clean and green. It has a total size of more than 200 hectares. The other site is in Novena, Singapore’s Medical District, where many researchers and laboratories are housed. The Chinese Heritage Centre, a national monument, is also housed inside the university. The institution has more than 25 halls on campus for undergraduate students to live in. It has around 15,000 students, both domestic and international. It has over 5,000 professors and research employees. Coursework and Research are the two types of programs provided by the university. Arts, Design and Media, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Electronic Engineering are among the courses provided by Coursework. Physical Science, Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, Biological Science, and Humanities are all included in the research area. Intan Azura Mokhtar (Assistant Professor at National Institute of Education), Lee Wung Yew (Gold Medalist in Shooting), and Dipna Lim are among the university’s famous alumni (National hurdler).

Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is Singapore’s second-oldest public autonomous research university, with a 500-acre residential campus. Every year, about 33,000 students enroll in the university’s Engineering, Business, Science, and Humanities programs. It collaborated with Imperial College London to build the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Singapore’s third medical school, in 2013. NTU’s campus is known for its lush green environs, with 57 Green Mark-certified (similar to LEED-certified) construction projects totaling over 230 structures, 95 percent of which are Green Mark Platinum certified. In this digital age, the institution is also pioneering new pedagogies to help students learn more effectively. With its flipped classroom concept of learning, it has created a new educational strategy.  The Hive, a reimagined traditional classroom known among students as the ‘dim sum basket building,’ is at the heart of this new strategy. Signature programs such as the Renaissance Engineering Program, the CN Yang Scholars Program, and the NTU-University Scholars Program are among the other educational efforts. NTU is a research-intensive university with two nationally recognized research centers: the Singapore Earth Observatory and the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering. It got the lion’s share of SGD 6 billion in competitive research funding in 2018-2019, and over SGD 580 million in 2019-2020. It had about 1,500 full-time faculty and 109 visiting academics as of July 2020.
