    A research-intensive public university, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has 33,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students in Engineering, Business, Science, and Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, and its Interdisciplinary Graduate School. NTU's Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine was established jointly with Imperial College London.
    NTU's campus is frequently listed among the Top 15 most beautiful university campuses globally and has 57 Green Mark-certified (equivalent to LEED-certified) buildings, of which 54 are certified Green Mark Platinum.
    In 2017 NTU was placed 11th globally and the best in Asia in the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings. Again, it placed the world's best young university (under 50 years old) by QS for the fourth consecutive year in 2017. Also, NTU was named the world's fastest rising young university by Times Higher Education in 2015.
    In engineering and technology, NTU is ranked fourth worldwide in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2017, with the Schools of Electrical & Electronic Engineering and Materials Science taking sixth and seventh places, respectively. 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 also strengthens its foothold in biomedicine and life sciences.
    The well-established Nanyang Business School is regularly featured among the leading business schools in Asia, with its MBA program consistently rated top in Singapore since 2004 by The Economist.
    Known for research excellence and technological innovation, NTU leads the top Asian universities in normalized research citation impact (Clarivate Analytics' InCites 2016). In the 2017 Nature Index, NTU is placed 35th among the world's universities and first in Singapore.
    NTU's five-year strategic plan, NTU 2020, builds on the 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, education, and the interfaces these have with various disciplines such as 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 centers of excellence – the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) and Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE) – that tackle essential environmental sustainability and public health questions.
    NTU is also home to several world-class institutes. The National Institute of Education trains all teachers in Singapore, which is known for having one of the world's best education systems.
    Other key institutes at NTU include the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute, and the Energy Research Institute @ NTU.
    NTU actively pursues partnerships with top universities and runs joint and dual Ph.D. degree programs with well-established universities. Some of its key partners in academia and research include Imperial College London, Technical University of Munich, and the University of California, Berkeley.
    The university also works closely with the most prominent 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.
