SINGAPORE: This year's graduating cohort is the largest ever from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

The 8,000 students include those from the pioneer cohort of the School of Art, Design and Media, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences.

Singapore's President, SR Nathan, who is also the chancellor of NTU, attended the convocation ceremony on Thursday.

NTU's president, Su Guaning, said the university will be addressing the future challenges that it will be facing at an upcoming workshop.

His comments followed Education Minister Ng Eng Hen's recent observation that NTU should seek to distinguish itself in some fields, to be among the world's best universities.
