NTU and NUS launch Singapore’s first PhD student exchange programme

From 1 June, PhD students from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and the National University of Singapore (NUS) will be able to enrol for courses in both universities.

Under the new NTU-NUS PhD Student Exchange Programme, eligible PhD students from NTU and NUS can attend classes at the other university.

Prof Subra Suresh said, “The exchange programme integrates the diverse and complementary strengths of NTU and NUS to provide a more comprehensive selection of course offerings for our PhD students. As two top-ranked universities in the world, NTU and NUS compete globally. At the same time, as the two largest public universities in Singapore, we should also collaborate so that our combined strengths can benefit our students and bring greater value to Singapore.”
