History

Block EA, Faculty of Engineering

In September 1904, Tan Jiak Kim led a group of representatives of the Chinese and other non-European communities, and petitioned the Governor of the Straits Settlements, Sir John Anderson, to establish a medical school in Singapore. Tan, who was the first president of the Straits Chinese British Association, managed to raise $87,077, of which the largest amount of $12,000 came from himself. On 3 July 1905, the medical school was founded, and was known as the Straits and Federated Malay States Government Medical School. The medical library was first housed in the students' reading room within the school, converted from the vacant old female lunatic asylum in Sepoy Lines.

In 1912, the medical school received a donation of $120,000 from the King Edward VII Memorial Fund, started by Dr Lim Boon Keng. Subsequently on 18 November 1913, the name of the school was changed to the King Edward VII Medical School. In 1921, it was again changed to the King Edward VII College of Medicine to reflect its academic status.

In 1929, Raffles College was established to promote arts and social sciences at tertiary level for Singapore students.

Two decades later, Raffles College was merged with the King Edward VII College of Medicine to form the University of Malaya on 8 October 1949. The two highly respected institutions were merged to perform together an even greater service by providing for the higher education needs of the Federation of Malaya and Singapore and to help lay the foundations of a new nation by producing a generation of skilled and educated men.

In 1959, the University of Malaya was divided into two divisions, University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur and University of Malaya in Singapore. The latter division formed the University of Singapore in 1962.

The present institution was formed with the merger of the University of Singapore and Nanyang University in 1980. The original crest of Nanyang University with three intertwined rings was incorporated into the new coat-of-arms of NUS.[2]

Education

NUS has a semester-based modular system for conducting courses. It adopts features of the British system, such as small group teaching (tutorials) and the American system (credits). Students may transfer between courses within their first two semesters, enrol in cross-faculty modules or take up electives from different faculties. Other cross-disciplinary initiatives study programmes include double-degree undergraduate degrees in Arts & Social Sciences and Engineering; Arts & Social Sciences and Law; Business and Engineering; and Business and Law.

NUS offers 27 single-degree undergraduate and 115 masters, doctoral and graduate diploma programmes conducted by 13 faculties.

Entrepreneurship

NUS is actively pursuing a course of integrating its core competencies in education and research with an enterprise role. In 2001, NUS Enterprise was launched as a platform to promote entrepreneurship and support creative enterprise. One of its first initiatives was to establish overseas colleges in entrepreneurial hubs around the world to nurture the spirit of enterprise and help students develop global outlook and aspirations. To date, five NUS Overseas Colleges have been set up in the United States, China, Sweden and India.

Entrepreneurship and innovation among the NUS community is also nurtured through the NUS Entrepreneurship Centre (NEC). Among the wide range of education and outreach activities organised by NEC are technopreneurship courses, workshops/forums and the well-established national business plan competitions such as Start-Up@Singapore.

The NUS Enterprise Centre in Silicon Valley (NECSV) is a university-level business incubator centre set up in California to facilitate smooth entry for start-ups venturing into the United States market. NECSV offers an array of business services ranging from providing low-cost office facilities for short- and medium-term tenancy to organising networking events and connecting tenants with a pool of established entrepreneurs for advice and mentorship. NUS@Shanghai, the University’s first one-stop business centre in China, was set up in 2005 to facilitate entry by NUS-linked and Singapore companies into one of the world’s fastest growing economies.

Efforts to inject an entrepreneurial dimension into the NUS community and culture have borne fruit. The University has helped students, alumni and staff in the formation of more than 60 spin-off companies engaged in the fields of engineering, IT and life sciences. With the venture support eco-system in place, NUS will continue to nurture their development into regional and global companies. Start-up companies which have helped expand the University’s entrepreneurial dimension include:

The NUS Overseas Colleges program allows undergraduates with academic ability and entrepreneurial drive to work as interns in start-ups in different parts of the world, and study entrepreneurship-related courses at partner universities. The program aims to cultivate and nurture them into successful entrepreneurs.

NUS College in Bio Valley

The NUS College in Bio Valley (NCBV) was started in June 2002. It is located in Philadelphia. The NCBV program is for students interested in the biotech and biomedical areas. The pioneer group of 14 students joined the NCBV program in January 2003. The College accepts 30 students per year.

Campus facilities/resources

University Cultural Centre

IT and computing services

The IT facilities and network are generally provided by its central IT department, Computer Centre. The University’s optical fibre network is one of the largest campus networks in the Asia Pacific region. NUSNET is used in research, teaching, learning and administration. In 2004, a campus-wide grid computing network based on UD Grid MP was deployed, connecting at least 1,000 computers. This becomes one of the largest such virtual supercomputing facilities in the region.

Library services

The NUS Libraries comprises 8 libraries, namely, the Central Library, the Chinese Library, the CJ Koh Law Library, the Hon Sui Sen Memorial Library, the Medical Library, the Music Library, the Science Library, and the NUS High School Library. Its primary clients are the NUS and NUS High School students, teaching, research and administrative staff members, as well as a sizeable group of external members. Its collection encompasses subjects in architecture, building and real estate, business, dentistry, engineering and technology, the humanities and social sciences, law, medicine, music, nursing and science. As of June 2008, there are over 1.4 million print titles, 43,000 electronic titles, 32,000 media programmes and 26,000 microform resources in the collection [7]. The Library Portal, a one-stop gateway, offers the University community 24-hour access via the Internet to a rich array of electronic collection and services provided by the NUS Libraries. Besides the rich resources, the NUS Libraries provide an environment conducive for individual research and spaces for group interaction and learning.

Support for development of teaching and learning

Enhancement of the quality of teaching and learning at NUS comes mainly under the purview of the Centre for Development of Teaching and Learning (CDTL) and the Centre for Instructional Technology (CIT).

CDTL facilitates reflection among faculty on concepts of teaching, learning and university education, and teaching practices that are consistent with these concepts. In addition to conducting research on educational philosophy, pedagogical theory and educational practices, CDTL helps the NUS administration to formulate educational policies for matters such as teacher appraisal, peer review, selection of outstanding educators, student feedback and assessment.

CIT, on the other hand, provides a robust and supportive environment for the exploration, development and application of digital and audio-visual technologies to support and enhance teaching and learning. This is done through the NUS-developed Integrated Virtual Learning Environment and by developing new applications/services and incorporating multimedia content in courses for academia.

NUS Unversity Town and Residential Colleges

In November, 2005, NUS announced plans to develop the "University Town"[8] on a 190,000 m² site of the former Warren Golf Course, opposite the existing Kent Ridge Campus and NUS High School. Eight Residential Colleges, which will provide "rich educational experiences" and cultivate "deep social bonds" as well as two Graduate Residences will be built. In all, the NUS University Town will accommodate 6,000 students. A vehicular cum pedestrian bridge spanning over the Ayer Rajah Freeway (AYE) will connect both campuses seamlessly. Construction began in 2007. The University Town construction was delayed due to the volatile construction environment of 2007, and thus will not be used as the Olympic Village for the Youth Olympics in 2010; much to the disappointment of the entire NUS community. The University Town is now scheduled to be completed in phases from 2011 to 2013.[9]

Student accommodation

An internal shuttle bus in NUS

There are about 6,000 residential places distributed between Halls and Student Residences on campus. There is a free Internal Shuttle Bus Service that plies the entire campus seven days a week.

Rooms are furnished with beds, mattresses, wardrobes, study tables, bookshelves and fans. There is a very small number of air-conditioned single rooms with attached bathrooms.
