Splashing around at the Boryeong Mud Festival with friends

“Experiencing another culture helped me develop a sense of independence and also resulted in lasting friendships. It was definitely an experience of a lifetime, where I was able to grow both academically and as an individual, in such a fun way.” - Vanessa Li (Year 4, IEM)

Participating in Lund Colour Run with friends

“The exchange life in Lund University not only provided with a great opportunity to study and work alongside elites from all over the world, but also to experience first-hand an entirely different educational culture in Sweden.” - Fang Lina (Year 3, IEM)

Having a French class outing with tutors

“Exchange in INSA Lyon started my journey in Europe, leaving me a lifetime memory of an exotic culture. Learning in INSA took on various forms, many of which differs from here in NTU, opening up my mind to a different style of learning, one which I have to say is extremely fun.” - Li Weini (Class of 2014, IEM)

Touring Paris on a bike, visiting famous landmarks with friends

“It was an exciting experience studying abroad in a very different and unique learning environment. From this, I gained a different and more comprehensive insight into another country and its culture.”

- Iffri Husairi Bin Ismail (Year 4, IEM)

Visiting the Colosseum in the center of Rome, Italy

“Living in a new city opens up a myriad of opportunities, with me doing many previous impossibles. Going to Madrid for exchange afforded me fun memories, and made me grow as an individual. Exchange life brought ‘expect the unexpected’ to a whole new level for me.” - Pan Yuehao (Year 4, IEM)

Enjoying the Sakura Festival at Kakunodate

“My exchange in Japan was one of the happiest and most memorable experiences during my time in university. Not only was I able to experience a different culture first-hand, but I was also given the opportunity to look at the world and myself from a different perspective.” - Li Ruixue (Year 5, IEM and Econs double degree programme)

wong Zhi xiang Class of 2011(engineer (infoComm infrastructure), Defence science and technology Agency)

“The IEM programme has not only provided with technical foundation and skills for my career, but has also challenged to develop my soft skills such as to think innovatively, communicate effectively and manage relationships well. Both types of skills have been invaluable to me in my profession as a defense IT engineer.”

lam Bhan Class of 2013 (PhD student, school of eee, ntu)

“IEM’s rigorous cross-platform curriculum has cultivated a polymath in me, allowing me to use varying perspectives to look at an issue, then drawing on the necessary knowledge from different fields to work on it. I would say that an IEM graduate is immediately relevant to current and future technology trends such as Internet of Things (IoT) and 3D printing.”

liu tong Class of 2014 (technology management Associate, Citibank)

“The rigour and multidisciplinary approach experienced at IEM, has taught me to be adaptable, enabling me to pick up new skills on the fly. All in all, IEM has not only opened the doors to a much wider range of career options, but has also better prepared for life after graduation.”

“The unique IEM experience of switching between rigorous engineering logic and artistic thinking has prepared me well for the challenging work required of me in the film industry. The IEM program married solid engineering background with the creative and innovative mindset from design thinking, which allows me to understand issues in a more holistic way.”

“These four years in the IEM programme have taught me to embrace the rigours of engineering and to also appreciate the subtleties of the arts. The emphasis and fusion of technical competency with creative dexterity is only found here at IEM. The IEM programme has inspired me to constantly seek new perspectives as well as the necessary skill sets, derived from the multi-disciplinary curriculum at IEM, to approach problems in engineering.”

huang Jiesi Class of 2012(Analyst, minDeF)

Leonardo da Vinci was a leading artist and an intellect of the Italian Renaissance. He has been called a genius and the archetypal Renaissance man. His talents unarguably extended far beyond his artistic works. Like many leaders of Renaissance humanism, he did not see a divide between science and art.

“Principles for the development of a complete mind: study the science of art. study the art of science. Develop your senses - especially learn how to see. realise that everything connects to everything else.”

– leonardo da vinci
