## Summary

NUS traces its origins to a medical school that opened in 1905 with 23 students, funded by local businessmen led by Tan Jiak Kim. That school combined with Raffles College in 1949 to form the University of Malaya, whose Singapore campus later became the University of Singapore, and the present NUS was created in 1980 when the University of Singapore merged with Nanyang University. It now has three campuses, at Kent Ridge, Bukit Timah and Outram.
