SINGAPORE - A new undergraduate college at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) will take in its first batch of about 500 students from August 2025.

The first batch of the NTU Honours College, which caters to high-potential students, will comprise those enrolled in the university’s signature programmes, said NTU on May 13. These include programmes like the CN Yang Scholars Programme, the Renaissance Engineering Programme, and the University Scholars Programme.

Freshmen from other degree courses with strong academic performance by the end of their first year will also be invited to apply to the college from their second year.

Students in the NTU Honours College remain enrolled in their respective schools or faculties, such as Engineering, Business or Science, although they will take on new hands-on modules that cut across disciplines, on top of the curriculum of their own programmes.
