NTU Singapore and Shanghai Maritime University (SMU) have established new partnerships aimed at enhancing the learning experience for maritime students in both universities.
Two new five-year collaborations will allow SMU students to study full-time at NTU Singapore’s School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) in the final year of their four-year undergraduate degree programme.
The students also have the option to enrol in selected one-year full-time Master of Sciences postgraduate degree programmes at NTU, subject to the usual admission requirements.
Students from both NTU and SMU will also benefit from cross-country exchange, under an agreement which allows up to 24 students from each side to participate in an immersion programme each academic year.
The partnerships were inked at NTU on Thursday, by NTU Associate Provost (Undergraduate Education) Professor Gan Chee Lip and SMU Vice Chair of Shanghai Maritime University Council Ms He Li.
