The Nanyang Technological University is setting up a new School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, which will start admitting students this year.
The new school is formed by merging the chemistry and biological chemistry division in the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering.
The new school aims to encourage interaction between students and staff in the pure sciences and engineering, help engineering students understand the fundamental science behind their work better, and help science students gain a better understanding of the applications of their studies.
Students will be grouped together for projects, and may share key modules, but will still continue to graduate with separate science and engineering degrees.
