Future-ready graduates: Agile, adaptable and ready for the workplace
Our graduates fuel Singapore’s economy.
Despite a tough job market last year, 9 in 10 of our graduates secured employment within 6 months of leaving NTU, earning a mean gross monthly salary of $4,812. That’s because our graduates are agile and adept problem solvers who can feel comfortable thinking outside the box to innovate.
Among our 331,000 strong alumni community, we are proud to count notable alumni such as Intel CEO Tan Lip-Bu, Singapore's Minister for Social and Family Development Masagos Zulkifli, renowned singer-songwriter Stefanie Sun, Shiseido Asia Pacific President & CEO Nicole Tan, among many others.
A new generation of alumni are carving out their own paths. Among them are, digital trust innovator Quah Zheng Wei, AI infrastructure co-founder Prukalpa Sankar, space tech founder Rohit Jha, telemedicine co-founder Serene Cai, restaurateur Lee Ray Sheng, satellite propulsion innovator Dr Mark Lim, table-tennis gold medallist Yu Mengyu, and creative multi-hyphenate Annette Lee.
Because we prepare you for your career from the day you join
At NTU, we know what employers want. This allows us to build industry-relevant experiences into our programmes, so that by the time you graduate, you will have had the chance to accumulate extensive industry experiences through your credit-bearing internship, programme-related practicals as well as placements with potential employers – so that you can hit the ground running.
