About Nanyang Technological University
NTU's roots lie in Nanyang University, a Chinese-medium university opened in 1955, and in the Nanyang Technological Institute, set up on 8 August 1981 to train engineers for Singapore. The institute was reconstituted as Nanyang Technological University on 1 July 1991 and absorbed the National Institute of Education, Singapore's teacher-training institution. It now covers engineering, science, business, humanities and medicine on its main campus in western Singapore.
