時間過得真快,又到周五,上周我們說了NSU新加坡國立大學的頭條,緊跟著的就是新加坡的另一所知名大學,南洋理工大學(Nanyang Technological University)啦。同樣的,南洋理工大學在我們國內知名度也很高,大家都知道它是亞洲的世界頂級綜合類研究型大學,2022年QS排名12位。
它的主頁沒有news的導航,主頁上最顯眼的就是以下新聞。順便說一下它們還有中文網頁哦,同學們想了解一些信息的話也可以自行去官網查看。

3 NTU to award its own medical degrees from 2029南洋理工大學從2029年起授予自己的醫學學位
NTU Singapore and the Imperial College London will successfully conclude their collaboration agreement to establish the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine) as planned in 2028.新加坡南洋理工大學和倫敦帝國理工學院將成功達成合作協議,按計劃于 2028 年成立李光前醫學院(LKCMedicine)。
4 Crowded trains, long commute impact decision to work from home: Study擁擠的火車,長途通勤影響在家工作的決定:研究
A study by NTU Singapore has uncovered some reasons why workers in Singapore are reluctant to return to the office as pandemic work-from-home restrictions are eased. Traveling to work on crowded trains was the biggest deterrent, followed by long commute times, the NTU scientists found.新加坡南洋理工大學的一項研究揭示了隨著在家工作限制的放寬,新加坡工人不願返回辦公室的一些原因。 南大科學家發現,乘坐擁擠的火車上班是最大的阻礙,其次是通勤時間長。
5 ARISE-ing to the challenge of eldercare迎接老年護理的挑戰
Singapore’s ageing population will lead to an estimated 83,000 elderly persons living alone by 2030. It is crucial that seniors take ownership of their health to live actively and independently in the community.到 2030 年,新加坡人口老齡化將導致約 83,000 名老年人獨居。老年人對自己的健康擁有自主權,以便在社區中積極、獨立地生活,這一點至關重要。
6 Equal opportunities in the workplace: For better or worse?工作場所的平等機會:是好是壞?
In an op-ed, Assistant Professor Chong Sin Hui from NTU’s NBS, whose expertise is in organisational behaviour and human resource,discussed the recent White Paper on Singapore women’s development, focusing on whether some of the policies proposed and debated in Parliament – from flexible work arrangements (FWAs) to parental leave and board representation – were really advantageous for women at work.在一篇專欄文章中,南洋理工大學 NBS 助理教授 Chong Sin Hui 的專長是組織行爲和人力資源,他討論了最近關于新加坡婦女發展的白皮書,重點關注一些政策是否在議會提出和辯論——從靈活 育兒假和董事會代表的工作安排(FWA)對工作中的女性確實有利。
7 Study sheds light on challenges faced by Singapore women in STEM研究揭示了新加坡女性在 STEM 領域面臨的挑戰
Gender diversity may have improved in the workplace, but many women in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) in Singapore are more likely than men to perceive there are barriers to the entry and progression in STEM careers due to gender, a study by the Promotion of Women in Engineering, Research, and Science (POWERS) programme has found.工作場所的性別多樣性可能有所改善,但新加坡科學、技術、工程和數學 (STEM) 領域的許多女性比男性更有可能認爲,由于性別,進入和發展 STEM 職業存在障礙, 促進婦女參與工程、研究和科學 (POWERS) 計劃的一項研究發現。
相對來說,新加坡這兩所院校的新聞裏人文社科方面的消息及研究占比還比較大,而新加坡也很明顯面臨了一個全球都即將面臨的人口老齡化問題,所以這個相關的專業或工作應該是比較有發展前景的。
