Nanyang Technological University will merge its engineering and chemistry departments to create a new School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology.
NTU students will be able to take courses straddling different disciplines, and embark on interdisciplinary education and research. The school will enable engineering students to better understand the fundamental science behind their work. Likewise, science students, too, will gain a better understanding of the applications of their studies.
Previously, the Singapore Management University has established a new college that will allow master’s and PhD students to take courses and programmes from a range of disciplines such as law, commerce and technology.
NUS has also said it would merge Yale-NUS College with the University Scholars Programme, as well as combine the Faculty of Engineering with the School of Design and Environment to form the College of Design and Engineering.
