Educating the Leaders of Tomorrow
The University of Adelaide - Singapore
Ngee Ann-Adelaide Education Centre
The Ngee Ann-Adelaide Education Centre (NAAEC) is a joint venture
between two of the oldest and most respected institutions in the Asia Pacific
region: the Ngee Ann Kongsi and The University of Adelaide.
The vision of
the partners is to provide a high quality educational facility in Singapore
combining under-graduate and post-graduate academic programs with applied
executive and professional development courses taught by experienced consultants
and professionals.
Courses are taught at the completely renovated Teochew Building on Tank
Road in the city centre. Dedicated facilities for students include multi-media
equipped lecture rooms, a student computer network with Internet access,
computer equipped syndicate rooms, a computer laboratory, a student lounge
and private study rooms.
The Ngee Ann Kongsi is a foundation which is actively involved in educational,
cultural and welfare activities. Founded in 1845 by Chinese immigrants of
the Teochew dialect group, the Ngee Ann Kongsi was formally incorporated
in Singapore under the Ordinance Act in 1933. The Kongsi has grown from a
community bound by a common heritage and genuine concern for the welfare
of its members to a foundation that now serves the community regardless of
race, religion or social status. [read
