Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is a research-intensive university ranked among the world's top 100 universities. The Yunnan Garden campus, NTU's main campus, is located in the south-western part of Singapore and will be the Youth Olympic Village of the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in 2010. The NTU@one-north campus, home to educational and alumni clubhouse facilities, is located near Singapore's biomedical research hub, Biopolis; and the new engineering and physical sciences hub, Fusionopolis.

NTU has four colleges. The Nanyang Business School (the College of Business) is the first and only Singapore business school to be ranked in the top 25 of the Financial Times Global MBA 2009 rankings. The College of Engineering, with six schools focused on technology and innovation, has a research output among the top four in the world. The College of Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences is home to the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, a top journalism and media school in Asia; a fast-growing humanities and social sciences school with distinctive niches of excellence; and Singapore's first professional art school offering degree courses in art, design and interactive digital media. The College of Science is home to award-winning faculty, world-class laboratories and Olympiad medal winners.

The S Rajaratnam School of International Studies, one of three autonomous institutes of NTU, is a world authority on strategic studies and security research. NTU is also home to the internationally-acclaimed National Institute of Education, Singapore's only teacher-training institute. The Earth Observatory of Singapore, established in 2008 with $150 million in state funding, is dedicated to hazards-related earth science.

As Singapore's main science and technology university, NTU makes significant contributions to the nation's renewed drive for research and innovation spearheaded by the Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF). NTU's strengths in biomedical sciences, environmental and water technologies, and interactive and digital media mirror the NRF's research focus. Impressed by the vibrant entrepreneurship environment at NTU, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, widely known as 'The Foundation of Entrepreneurship', has chosen NTU to be the first Kauffman campus outside the United States of America.

NTU has a strong and broad international reach covering academic and research partnerships with top institutions in the US, such as MIT, Standford University, Cornell University, Caltech, University of Washington, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Carnegie Mellon University; in Europe, such as Cambridge University, Imperial College, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology; in Asia, such as Peking University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Waseda University, and the Indian Institute of Technology.
