Overview

Nanyang Technological University

NTU logo

Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is a leading institution of higher education in the Asia-Pacific region. NTU offers broad-based and multi-disciplinary curricula that include schools of engineering, life sciences, communications, art, business, humanities and the social sciences. More than twenty percent of the undergraduate student population hails from Asia-Pacific, including Indonesia, Malaysia, China, India, Thailand and Vietnam.

NTU is located in the southwestern part of Singapore, approximately 25 kilometers from the city center. The campus is well-equipped with modern facilities for teaching and research.

Founded in 1819 as a trading center by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, Singapore won its independence in 1965. Singapore is easy to explore independently. The best way is on foot, wandering the streets to discover small shops, a special house, or a temple, or just to observe the daily scene.

Application Deadlines

For full consideration, students must submit all supporting documents (typically an essay, transcripts, 1-2 recommendations, and copy of passport) before or by the application deadline.  Popular programs fill quickly, often before the deadline. To ensure a place in a program, apply early.

As soon as a student submits an online application, a My Study Abroad account is created. Applicants should consult this page often to check on the status of the application.

IMPORTANT APPLICATION NOTE Applications are reviewed in the order that they are completed. Some programs are popular and can reach enrollment capacity before the stated deadline.
