Its 15 faculties and schools, spread across three campuses, offer a wide range of education programs designed for different interests and aspirations. With 21 university-level research institutes and centers as well as three Research Centers of Excellence, it engages in cutting-edge research of global impact, with particular emphasis on issues crucial to Asia and the world in the 21st century. At NUS, students enjoy a rigorous, broad-based education that offers flexibility and choice. An exciting facet of the NUS experience is the broad spectrum of globally oriented programs that enable its students to succeed in life and work in a globalized world. A unique and exciting program at NUS is the NUS Overseas College (NOC) program, which aims to foster global perspectives as well as a spirit of enterprise in students by immersing them in leading entrepreneurial hubs such as Silicon Valley, Philadelphia's "Bio Valley" and Bangalore. In China, NOC offers programs in Beijing and Shanghai in partnership with Tsinghua and Fudan universities. Students in the programs gain an in-depth understanding of China through year-long, full-time internships with Chinese companies and part-time courses at the partner universities. Its long-standing and close ties with leading universities in China forged over the years have enabled NUS to offer distinctive and quality programs such as double-degree graduate courses with Fudan University, Peking University and Tsinghua University. It also has student exchanges and summer programs with partner universities across China such as Chongqing University, Fudan University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Nanjing University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Sichuan University, University of Science and Technology of Beijing, Wuhan University of Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University and Zhejiang University.
