Margaret Lien Centre for Professional Success (MLCPS)

Empowering NTU Graduates to Thrive at Work

To continually prepare NTU students for career success, impactful service and global citizenship, the Margaret Lien Centre for Professional Success (MLCPS) was established in 2013 through the generous support of philanthropist Mrs Margaret Lien, wife of the late banker, hotelier and philanthropist Dr Lien Ying Chow.

Since its inception, more than 76,000 students have benefited from MLCPS career modules, which equip NTU graduates with the values, character and professional competencies needed to thrive in an evolving global workforce. Each year, close to 7,000 students complete the Centre’s career module to develop essential career readiness and professional skills.

As part of NTU’s Interdisciplinary Core Curriculum (ICC), the MLCPS career module is designed to help students navigate the uncertainties and complexities in today's dynamic world. Through the module, students develop essential communication, personal development and professional skills, while cultivating adaptability, collaboration and resilience to respond effectively to a rapidly changing environment.

As industries continue to transform in an era shaped by digital innovation, artificial intelligence and global challenges, MLCPS continues to evolve its programmes to meet the needs of tomorrow's workforce. Guided by NTU2030, the University's strategic vision for the next phase of its growth, the Centre advances NTU's commitment to nurturing future-ready talent, delivering transformative education and creating meaningful impact for Singapore and beyond.
