HUMANITIESHUMANITIES

the division of Chinese is one of the nine disciplines within the school of humanities and social sciences, which was established as part of ntu’s plan to become a comprehensive, interdisciplinary university.

it is a flagship division in the humanities, and conducts its courses in both Chinese and English. the division’s mission is to promote the study and appreciation of Chinese language and culture. Committed to carry forward these traditions as well as to create new horizons, the division’s programmes provide multiple local and global perspectives, broadening students’ knowledge and understanding of the contemporary world, and making them adaptable and culturally-attuned to regional and international environments.

a concrete foundation in both classical and modern Chinese literature, a deeper understanding of Chinese language, and a broader perspective on Modern China and the Chinese diaspora in southeast asia. the programme aims to equip students with multidisciplinary research skills and bilingual capabilities. our faculty members are dedicated to high quality teaching and research. We have strong and active interests in Modern Chinese literature and Chinese language, and given our location in singapore, we are especially passionate about the Chinese diaspora in southeast asia.

the division also offers the Minor in Chinese, which is designed to sharpen the Chinese language skills of students, which is in line with national policies that intend to encourage regionalisation and globalisation. the Minor also aims to familiarise students with various aspects of Chinese studies, such as political and social history, philosophy, language, and literature. the Minor in Chinese prepares students for careers in various fields such as education, media, administration, and foreign relations.

Besides Chinese, the division also offers two other unique Minor programmes, which are open to all ntu students. the Minor in Translation is offered to students who are interested in receiving practical and professional training in translating between Chinese and English. it is designed to fulfil the object of equipping students with translation skills in order to bridge linguistic and cultural communicative gaps, so that meanings may be accurately conveyed and retained across languages. the minor also aims to expose students to a rigorous curriculum that emphasises the depth and breadth of coverage in translation studies, as well as to improve and enhance their bilingual and bicultural versatility. this minor programme will equip students with concrete language skills not only in translation between Chinese/English and English/Chinese, but also prepare them to use the languages as effective communication tools for pursuing and developing their careers in fields such as translation and interpretation, Mass Communication, Journalism, Public services, Public relations, Education, and among other professions.

the Minor in Chinese Creative Writing aims to nurture students who are interested in Chinese writing, providing them with opportunities to study various literary forms and writing techniques. the courses cover the areas of fiction, poetry, prose, playwriting, and cross media writing. it is open to all ntu students. to pursue a Minor in Chinese Creative Writing, students will have to read at least five courses, totalling at least 15 aus in courses (including onE compulsory course and any Four elective courses), taken as unrestricted Electives (uE).

the division has partnered with the national arts Council in order to run the Chinese Writing residency programme. this programme engages critically acclaimed writers, both local and international, to work on a literary project of their own and also teach creative writing courses in ntu at the same time. Many eminent singaporean and world-renowned writers have joined our Chinese Writer-in-residence scheme, including yeng Pway ngon, Chia Joo Ming, Wong Koi tet, su Wei-Chen, su tong, and most recently, hon lai Chu.

Career ProspectsChinese majors can look forward to careers in the private and public sectors where in-depth knowledge of Chinese language and culture are required. some of these include the civil service, education, business management, public relations, journalism, publishing, translation, as well as theatre and the arts.

the division of English at ntu combines the study of traditional canonical literatures with a diverse range of contemporary approaches to literature, film, and critical theory. since 2004, the division has rapidly established itself as one of asia’s leading centres for research and teaching. our faculty, who come to us from some of the world’s best universities, are committed to producing graduates skilled in all areas of literary and cultural studies.

the division of English encourages original thought, open expression, and high levels of interaction and debate between faculty and students, with the aim of developing a thriving and exciting home for ideas and creative pursuits. We accommodate innovative approaches to literary study in a spirit of openness and intellectual discovery, while cultivating an environment that encourages adventurous thinking from a diversity of perspectives.

Bachelor of arts in

ENGLISHFocusing on both the traditional areas of english literature and contemporary innovative approaches to the subject, the four-year direct honours programme offers multiple specialisations including comparative literature, Singaporean and Asian literatures, critical and literary theory, cultural studies, film studies, postmodernism, and gender studies. The Division also has a vibrant creative writing programme, part of which is a collaboration with the National Arts Council, where critically acclaimed local and international writers share their insights and mentor students in their creative writing pursuits.

programme include singaporean literature and culture, international asian literature, contemporary literature, postcolonial studies, critical and literary theory, cultural studies, postmodernism, and film and theatre studies. Boasting an extensive undergraduate programme, the division also has a lively graduate community engaged in a wide range of innovative research projects. the division currently offers a Major and a Minor in English literature, both the M.a. and the Ph.d. by research, and general Elective courses to all ntu students.

the Minor in English introduces students to a wide range of courses and provides them with a firm foundation in the methods and practices of literary-critical analysis and study. students are exposed to a variety of literatures, periods and genres, and are acquainted not only with the literary texts, but also with their authors, the literary movements, and the contemporary cultural and historical cross-currents which have influenced both author and text. apart from the foundational and progressive

advanced study of the major literary genres or forms such as fiction, poetry and drama, special topics courses will also be offered as specific interest subjects.

We have also offered the Minor in Creative Writing since 2008. Creative Writing at ntu offers innovative teaching, skilled mentorship, and a stimulating environment of literary exchange for both undergraduate and graduate students. all courses are taught by practising and publishing writers — prominent local and international authors who regularly join the programme as writers-in-residence and guest teachers.

the programme is open to all undergraduate students interested in exploring their creative literary potential. students are encouraged to nurture their creative and innovative abilities — where they learn the techniques necessary for crafting well-made poetry, fiction, drama, and screenplays. the courses comprise workshops devoted to literary forms and techniques, as well as the exploration of contemporary trends. Classes provide a platform for students to share their work and receive responses from professional and student authors in an encouraging and productive environment.

the Creative Writing programme is also the home of the ntu/naC singapore Writing residencies, which bring outstanding national and international writers into close contact with students. this three-year, $1.5 million programme is an on-going joint collaboration between the national arts Council (naC) and the Creative Writing department at the division of English. it allows local and international literary luminaries to work side

by side on literary projects, and students of creative writing here at ntu enjoy the benefit of being taught and mentored by these established writers. Writers-in-residence are for ay 2015-2016 Pooja nansi, Madeleine thien and yeo Wei Wei.

the Minor in Creative Writing is an excellent concentration for students planning careers in fields as diverse as education, publishing, journalism, advertising, public relations, business and the civil service, as well as encouraging budding singaporean and asian writers.

By offering the two above Minors both to the university at large and to students who choose to read English literature as their major, we provide a significant contribution to the new undergraduate Experience at ntu.

Career ProspectsEnglish Majors may look forward to careers that require excellent analytical skills and strong language proficiency. Potential job sectors include education, the civil service, social work, journalism, advertising, publishing, human resources, management, public administration, arts administration, and other creative industries. of course, many of our undergraduates also continue in their academic pursuits to M.a. and Ph.d. levels.

Five Peaks of Excellence. the study of history is often misunderstood to entail the memorisation of facts and regurgitating them whenever asked. history majors are trained not to simply memorise facts, but are instead, equipped with useful research skills that will aid them not only in their university life, but more importantly, in their lives and future careers. some of the skills history majors will cultivate through our Programme include: developing an inquisitive eye for significant problems and issues throughout history; formulating penetrating research questions; identifying and verifying the authenticity of relevant sources; embarking on the collection of historical information via appropriate quantitative or qualitative methods; analysing the data collected; and presenting their findings and conclusions in meaningful and persuasive ways through well-written narratives. through this process, students will not only acquire sound research skills, but will also develop rigorous reasoning and analytical capacities, cultivate powerful problem solving skills, and obtain culturally sensitive and compelling communication skills. these will be beneficial in helping them to thrive in the globalised world as scholars, public servants, as well as managers and entrepreneurs in the private sector.

Distinctive Characteristics and Minor Programmesthe history Programme offers foundational courses such as historiography, as well as focused courses on the histories of particular regions and countries, including Europe, south asia, East asia, southeast asia, and the united states. the Programme’s specific focus on these two interconnected teaching and research areas makes it unique among other history programmes in asia-Pacific, if not the world.

the Programme purposefully situates its research and teaching of modern and contemporary asian history in the current global context. this will enable students to recognise and appreciate the region’s vibrant internal dynamisms, its longstanding and continuing interactions with the outside world, as well as its reception and transmission of the extensive flows of cultures, ideas, peoples, and capital to and from other parts of the globe.

Faculty members teach and conduct cutting-edge research on issues located at the interstices of history and other disciplines such as science, technology, medicine, business, and environmental studies. students will explore the ways in which scientific breakthroughs and medical knowledge have been created, distributed, and accepted. they will also be equipped with tools that will help them to understand the complex and multi-dimensional impact that science, medicine, and technology have on the economic, intellectual, political, and social development of contemporary societies, regions, and the world.

in all, the history Programme is committed to educating outstanding students who strive to develop well-rounded analytical, communication, and research skills. they will be well-educated t-shaped professionals who are able to apply historical knowledge and sound analytical tools to address contemporary issues that are relevant to the nation, the region, and the world. technologically savvy and culturally attuned to changing national and regional developments, as well as global concerns, they will thrive personally and professionally in today’s globalised world and knowledge based economies.

the history Programme aims to be one of the leading centres of historical scholarship on modern and contemporary asia. awarded prestigious fellowships and grants by prominent private foundations and government agencies, the Programme’s faculty members are committed to pursuing excellence in research and teaching in these broad areas:• Rethinking the multiple dimensions of asian history in a global context• How science, technology, and medicine have transformed human societies and global relations• How the past affects the present• The nature of the historical discipline itself

these specialisations complement the Programme’s commitment to providing students with in-depth knowledge in world history, especially that of other cultures and polities beyond asia. the Programme’s rigorous training in historical

research and analysis will challenge students to think critically about global, regional, and national developments. students will find themselves continually inspired to produce cutting-edge and ground breaking research.

offered as a minor at ntu since 2006, history has proved to be a popular programme with students across the university. riding on its popularity, history has been offered as both a major and minor since 2012, further advancing ntu’s

Bachelor of arts in

HISToRYThis four-year direct honours programme equips students with analytical tools and core methodologies that are drawn from comparison, culture, economics, interdisciplinary studies, politics, and social history, in order to critically explore the past and the present. history majors can specialise in one of these three areas: global Asia in Connected history; interdisciplinary history of Science, Technology, Medicine, Business, and the environment; or World history. This rigorous training in historical analysis will furnish students with keen analytical, communication, and interdisciplinary problem-solving skills that are vital in today’s globalised economies.

the history Programme also offers the Minor in History, which is open to all ntu students. this Minor provides students with the tools necessary to understand human experience and thought in different places and times. history as a discipline covers every dimension of human interaction, from the study of social life and cultural practices to political thought and philosophical views. students of history learn to make sense of the present in terms of the past, and the past from the vantage point of the present. in history, students study individuals, groups, communities, and nations from a multiplicity of perspectives and across various time periods. documents comprise the primary data historians examine, and studying history allows students to hone their analytical skills and develop convincing arguments.

Career Prospectshistory majors at hss can consider archival work, business, education, journalism, publishing, project management, public relations and advertising, library and information operations, museum curation and management, policy-making, think-tank research, tourism, and even content development of computer games as potential future career options.

Major Research and Teaching Areasthe history Programme has structured its undergraduate degree programme to equip students with comprehensive knowledge about major historical subjects. Besides cultivating interdisciplinary study, this four-year direct honours programme also enables students to concentrate on what most appeals to them in their studies as they advance in their coursework. all of this training will culminate in the final-year graduation Project, where students will showcase their competency in conducting independent research and advancing arguments persuasively. to be awarded the Bachelor of arts degree, history majors should demonstrate their capacity to: correctly employ secondary literature in their chosen areas of study; engage in independent research; exercise critical judgment with the texts they encounter; and communicate their findings in a well-reasoned and scholarly manner. the Programme also invites and accepts applications for its M.a. and Ph.d. programmes. through coursework and the writing of a well-conceived thesis, the Programme aims to train the next generation of scholars to engage in discipline-defining research. the areas of study that our faculty members specialise in are as follows:

• Chinese Diaspora• Cold War in Asia• Contemporary and Modern East, South, and southeast asian history in the global Context• Environmental History• Global Health• Historiography• History and Public Policy• History of Singapore

• History of Medicine, Science, technology, and sustainability• Maritime History• Migration History• Modern and Contemporary China• Sino-Southeast Asian Studies• The United States and Asia

the division of linguistics and Multilingual studies (lMs) focuses on the study of the language of multilingual individuals and societies. such a focus is particularly relevant to singapore and the wider region, as these places are characterised by widespread bilingualism and multilingualism. Besides English, our research and teaching focuses on the languages and language issues in countries that are of special relevance to singapore, such as China, india, indonesia, thailand, Philippines and Vietnam, amongst others.

Distinctive Characteristics and Minor Programmesthe division of linguistics and Multilingual studies is the first of its kind in singapore and the region. although relatively young,

it has firmly established itself as a leading centre for the study of language and multilingualism in asia. a broad range of courses is taught by an enthusiastic team of multinational faculty. our faculty members have an outstanding record of attracting external research funding, are actively engaged in projects in a range of research areas, and are prominent on the international stage.

the study of linguistics and multilingualism provides insights into one of the most intriguing aspects of human knowledge and behaviour, and at the same time introduces students to related disciplines. given that language is an indispensible and integral part of virtually all human activities, the study of linguistics provides a bridge to

interdisciplinary discourse and research in diverse fields of enquiry including computer science, education, hearing and speech sciences, communication, law, literature, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. the interdisciplinary nature of the courses offered in lMs is further reflected by the innovative research interests of our faculty members, who have research collaborations not only across the divisions within the hss, but also across the colleges of the university and internationally.

Besides the Major Programme, we also offer the Minor in Linguistics and Multilingual Studies, which is open to all ntu students. the objective of the Minor programme in linguistics and Multilingual studies is to provide students with a general grounding in core areas of linguistics such as phonetics, phonology, morpho-syntax and semantics. it will also expose students to current debates in key areas of linguistic applications in various disciplines. as language is a critical activity in all human interactions, students will find that a minor in linguistics will enable them to perceive their areas of specialisation in a new light. a linguistic Minor complements other disciplines in hss such as English, Psychology, sociology, and language studies in general. it will also complement Computer Engineering and be of significance to engineering students who are interested in engineering topics related to human language, for example, artificial intelligence, machine translation, speech recognition.

Career Prospectsundergraduates from lMs have a wide range of potential career options to consider. they can look to both the private and public

sector for management roles, teaching and curriculum development, as well as work that involves lexicography, translation, and interpretation. students can also look to the computer industry, specifically with regard to the fields of speech recognition, machine translation, search engines and artificial intelligence. Journalism, publishing, public relations, advertising, and marketing are some of the other sectors that lMs students can consider.

Major Research and Teaching AreasBesides the core courses that equip students with a firm foundation in linguistics, the undergraduate programme in lMs offers courses in five areas. these are:• Multilingual Societies and Multiculturalism• Language, Mind and Multilingualism• Language and Technology• Language Structure• Special Topics in Linguistics

Bachelor of arts in LINGUISTICS AND MULTILINGUALSTUDIESThis interdisciplinary direct honours degree is designed to help students develop an extensive understanding of communication; the creation of meaning; the functions, structure, and neurological and psychological basis of language use; and the documentation and computational applications of languages. A major in this degree programme will create diverse opportunities not only in the many subfields of linguistics, but also in any career in which communication and analytical thinking play a pivotal role.

are you interested in not just living but living a meaningful life? do you wish to understand yourself, humanity, and the world? do you want to acquire the kind of skills that will help you stand out from ordinary employees? if so, then study philosophy. Philosophy ponders fundamental questions about the nature of reality, knowledge, existence, mind, language, science, and morality. the discipline of philosophy helps you develop a sophisticated sense of logic, a capacity for rigorous reasoning, a comprehensive perspective in understanding the world, and a broad base of knowledge that intersects with other disciplines such as mathematics, physics, biology, economics, social sciences, and psychology. studying philosophy enables you to read carefully, write well, reason clearly, communicate effectively, think critically, and most importantly, think for yourself. these skills

are essential for a successful career and an enriched life.

Distinctive Characteristics and Minor Programmes Philosophy involves a broad and systematic critical examination of questions that underlie

the foundations of other disciplines. as such, philosophy shapes the way we think and act. it also heightens our sensitivity towards the nuances of life, and at the same time enhances our ability to engage with them.

the study of philosophy will help students develop critical thinking, reflective consciousness, and other transferable skills that can strengthen their disciplinary studies and enable them to adapt better to changing circumstances.

Besides the Major Programme, we also offer the Minor in Philosophy, which is open to all ntu students. this Minor will help you develop a sophisticated sense of logic, a capacity for rigorous reasoning, a comprehensive perspective in understanding the world, and a broad base of knowledge that intersects with other disciplines, such as mathematics, physics, biology, economics, social sciences, and psychology. studying philosophy enables you to read carefully, write well, reason clearly, communicate effectively, think critically, and most importantly, think for yourself. these skills are essential for a successful career and an enriched life.

Career ProspectsPhilosophical training provides a unique set of tools that is broadly applicable across a wide variety of career paths. Philosophy students are trained to examine fundamental assumptions and to master the methods of rational argumentation. these skills are transferable to many different fields. they will enable students to adapt to changing circumstances in the labour market, and to changes in the world as a whole. students of philosophy have thus been successful in many different career paths such as arts,

business, computer science, law, medicine, public administration, publishing, writing, and many others. Famous philosophy students include Carly Fiorina and george soros (business), stephen Breyer and david souter (law), Martin luther King and Bill Clinton (politics), and lee ang and Woody allen (film).

Major Research and Teaching Areas• Aesthetics• Chinese Philosophy• Comparative Philosophy• Epistemology• Ethics• Existentialism• History of Philosophy• Logic and Critical Thinking• Metaphysics• Moral Psychology• Philosophy of Mind• Philosophy of Religion• Philosophy of Science• Social and Political Philosophy

Bachelor of arts in

PHILoSoPHYliterally, “philosophy” means the love of wisdom. When considered as an academic discipline, philosophy is concerned with the study of fundamental problems such as those connected to the nature of knowledge, reality, existence, mind, language, science, and morality. Students who pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy must take three required courses: introduction to Philosophy, logic and Paradoxes, and Moral Philosophy. Students may also choose from various electives that focus on different topics, historical periods, and traditions in philosophy. During their final year, students will have to complete a supervised research paper.

WHAT oUR ALUMNI SAY ABoUT THEIR EXPERIENCE

“i can honestly say that if not for my experience with the English

department at ntu, i wouldn’t be where i am today. With their help and encouragement, i published my debut poetry collection and am now doing a Masters in literature at trinity College dublin. i will always be grateful to my professors for enabling me to do the work i love.”

Cheryl Julia Lee,English Division, Class of 2014

“Four years of learning at ntu has greatly benefited me in terms

of the way i think and view the world. Completing my Final-year Project in year

4 was like a ‘hands-on’ way to put all i have learnt into use; it was a great opportunity to

get to interact with people in the movie and culture industries, and also to contribute a little to local cultural history through archiving and

research.”

“time flies quickest when we are having fun...Picture yourself next to the atlantic

ocean, surrounded by people from different countries and cultures, munching churros along a

windy boardwalk, ransacking lanes of houses just to find the right party - that’s the opportunity i would never get

elsewhere. a summer of work and travel in new Jersey was indescribable! it reconnected my world map and view so shockingly i

couldn’t recognise myself on paper. Most amazing of all, it opened up business conversations that used to be impossible.

My internship with Procter & gamble was definitely part of the list. i had the privilege to work on a real time billion dollar project via

consumers’ lenses across the globe. there is nothing i will trade for the knowledge and skills gained during my time in hss.”
