In 2017 NTU was placed 11th in the world and the best in Asia in the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings.

With six schools, NTU’s College of Engineering is among the top nine globally for research output and the 5th most cited in the world (Essential Science Indicators 2017).
Mirroring this success is the College of Science, whose young chemistry department is ranked 13th among universities in the Nature Index 2017. Boosted by research at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, NTU is also strengthening its foothold in areas such as biomedicine and life sciences.
The well-established Nanyang Business School is regularly featured among the leading business schools in Asia, with its MBA programme consistently rated top in Singapore since 2004 by The Economist.

NTU's five-year strategic plan, NTU 2020, builds on strong foundations of NTU 2015 and aims to propel NTU to greater heights of research excellence. The plan focuses on five key research thrusts – Sustainable Earth, Global Asia, Secure Community, Healthy Society and Future Learning. The areas leverage NTU’s diverse strengths, particularly its longstanding expertise in engineering, business and education, and the interfaces these have with various disciplines such as in healthcare, science and the humanities. NTU’s sustainability initiatives have clinched significant competitive research funding and the university is already a global leader in this area.
NTU hosts two national research centres of excellence – the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) and Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE) – that are tackling important questions in environmental sustainability and public health.
NTU is also home to a number of world-class institutes. The National Institute of Education trains all teachers in Singapore, which is known for having one of the best education systems in the world.

NTU actively pursues partnerships with top universities and runs joint and dual PhD degree programmes with well-established universities. Some of its key partners in academia and research include Imperial College London, Technical University of Munich, and University of California, Berkeley.
The university also works closely with the biggest industry players in making its research relevant to society. In the past few years alone, NTU has struck a record number of tie-ups with big players such as BMW Group, Rolls-Royce, Delta Electronics, ST Engineering, SMRT and SingTel.

I did my MS back in 2006, it’s a great place for your education. I call it more of a research institution rather than an a school. My project was a real time research of an additive for E10 Petrol and it is used/Selling in China now, just as an example. Great facilities and great environment to learn. Love the beautiful green campus.

NTU's campus is blessed with its own beauty of hilly landscapes and green nature surrounds the colleges.
It's a breath-taking experience especially for a beautiful morning walk, at the same time get to enjoy the rich biodiversity of flora and fauna that refresh our body and soul most importantly, not only that, it attracts a wide range of wildlife. Long-tailed macaques, wild boars, and otters, have been sighted on campus as well.
Welcome to NTU!

I was here during the event STEP Youth Regional Affairs Dialogue 2019. The staff qnd students are really nice to foreigner. The campus is huge but it is accessible with various transportation. Recommend to use bus when you get there cause it is faster. Plenty of good food near the residential area.
