Campus Master Plan
The Campus Master Plan is guided by sustainability principles and involves transforming the campus grounds into a "univer-city" with a bustling campus centre, new halls and trendy spaces that sustain new approaches to learning, research and relaxation.
NTU initiated its makeover of the undergraduate experience to give NTU students the edge in tomorrow's global economy – as creative leaders with a strong social conscience, a love for learning, strong leadership and teamwork skills, and familiarity with real-world issues such as new sustainability challenges. The education revamp covers five broad areas – the academic experience, student life, career development, teaching excellence and infrastructural changes. Students will have more time for group-based learning and self-reflection, as well as the flexibility to tailor their curriculum to meet their unique interests and strengths. New interdisciplinary options in Liberal Studies and a compulsory core module in Environmental Sustainability will be introduced. Students can also look forward to new opportunities for overseas exchange and an enhanced IT-enabled campus environment as part of NTU's "Cool Campus" drive. New academic programmes include the dual-degree Renaissance Engineering Programme that melds engineering with business to groom future CEOs and CTOs; new double degree programmes; a new undergraduate degree programme in Earth and Environmental Sciences (to be offered from 2012); and the much-anticipated undergraduate medical degree programme with Imperial College London at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine in 2013.
