Student Media
The Wee Kim Wee School is a multi-media organization in which faculty and students produce quality radio and television shows, and print and online publications.
The Nanyang Chronicle is a student-run campus newspaper published once every three weeks during NTU's semesters.
Nanyang Journalism Online showcases students' projects in the Online Journalism and Broadcast Journalism classes.
Go-Far, short for Going Overseas for Advanced Reporting, provides aspiring journalists the opportunity to experience life as foreign correspondents.
Radio Fusion is NTU's 24-hour radio station that plays favourite hits, with an emphasis on NTU and local talents.
Spectrum TV is a newly launched campus TV station. Currently, it has 60 students to produce content, publicize the programming, and distribute content over multi-platforms.
Connexscions features stories about outstanding students, faculty members, and alumni.
The Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information building was built in 1996, and is a $22.6 million facility with 7,025 sq m of floor space. The four-storey SCI building curves around an airy central courtyard where students socialise, snack and study. Spread over the four stories are a courtyard amphitheatre, lecture hall, tutorial rooms, electronic production suites and the school's new Asian Resource Communication Centre (ACRC).
Hands-on training, and keeping abreast of changes are vital in the communications industry. Therefore, our facilities have to be state-of-the-art so that our students maintain their competitive edge.
Computer Laboratories
Our School maintains three computer labs for instruction in writing, reporting, editing, design, promotional communication and multimedia productions.
All our labs have web browser software and fast Internet connections through NTU's Centre for IT Services, plus a variety of software titles for word-processing, desktop publishing in both English and Chinese, and web design.
We have dedicated labs for different needs. Our photojournalism students enjoy both a traditional lab and a computer lab for digital imaging. Communication Research students have access to both a research lab and a computer-assisted telephone interview system (CATI) for conducting public opinion and marketing/consumer research.
The Information Studies Labs are equipped with state-of-the-art computing facilities and resources to support teaching and research.
Electronic Media Studio
Our sophisticated media studios are good training grounds for our students to enter the broadcast and electronic media industry in Singapore and beyond.
We have an audio production suite, two radio production and presentation suites, two television production studios and directing galleries.
The audio production studio is equipped with a multi-channel mixer and sound equipment offering recording and playback formats for mastering and editing. We have the latest technology in digital sound recording, editing and manipulation in our post-production suite.
Our television production studios and directing galleries are available for courses and student projects. Both are outfitted for scene-and-set dramatic productions and broadcast-journalism instruction. The larger of the galleries has a digital video-effects editor and the smaller is equipped with the latest in "cold" lighting technology. Besides studio cameras, students have access to field-production units for on-location productions or for connecting to a network for a location telecast.

Sights from
Uniquely Singapore
Little India
As you step into Little India, you will be greeted by the strong, heady scent of spices and jasmine garlands, followed by the treasure trove of silverware, brassware, wood carvings and colourful silk saris.
Little India's spice-scented streets beckon you to a cornucopia of ethnic jewellery, jasmine garlands and silk saris. From the large Tekka Centre and Little India Arcade to the small provision shops, Little India is packed with interesting things to discover.
Colourful temples co-exist side by side with churches and mosques, parrot fortune tellers stationed by the five-foot way and tantalizing scents of spices drifting out from restaurants. Don’t leave Little India without a temporary Henna tattoo or try “Teh Tarik”, a hand pulled cup of tea.
