Important Facts

It’s often been said that one’s university years are the first draft of your future. Like the droplets of water that will eventually fill a pail, all freshmen will soon understand what it means to be NTU students and how they will be prepared for the challenges of a globalised society. This new world is being driven by dramatic changes in the environment, economics, politics and advancements in technology, resulting in new ways of working, living and playing. In 2011, NTU introduced a new undergraduate curriculum that puts learning within and beyond the curriculum at its core. Called NTU Education, this approach focuses on supporting how students learn and providing them with opportunities to develop skills that will enable them to face the challenges of the 21st century with optimism and confidence
